About the Speaker:
Cheryl Blake began working as a medical transcriptionist in 1994 when her newborn son was 4 weeks old; having decided she would stay at home to raise her third child. The growth of the Internet provided her the vehicle to become a Work-at-home Mom and no longer did she have to rely on someone else to raise her children for her. She is a graduate of New Jersey City University with a Bachelor's Degree in Media/Journalism. She achieved her Paralegal certification from Rutgers University in 1976, and specialized in medicolegal cases including medical malpractice and insurance defense in New York, Seattle and San Bernardino County, California.
Cheryl worked her way steadily through the ranks, going from transcriptionist to editor, to Director of Quality Assurance, and ultimately to instructor. In that role, she and her family went to Bangalore, India so she could train medical transcriptionists and lecture all over that country throughout the year 2000. Since that time, Cheryl has been an advisor to many start-up transcription companies as well as Director of QA for other companies before beginning at TRS in early 2007. Cheryl lives in Sugarloaf, California with her husband, Joe, her 14-year-old son, Johnny, and Patch the Cocker Spaniel. Cheryl and Joe have 2 grown children, Air Force Sr. Airman Robert, and Victoria and her husband Shaun blessed them with their first grandchild, Sam, in June.
