Rhonda Jensen is President of the Midwest Division of Lexitas. Rhonda began her career as a freelance court reporter upon graduating from MacCormac College. After 2 years, she started her own business, Jensen Reporting Service. She built the business through dedication and adherence to a strong work ethic. Her No. 1 priority has always been to provide superior service to her loyal and valued clients. She firmly believes in staying at the top of her profession, which is why she has gone on to achieve the highest certification attainable for court reporting, which is the Registered Diplomate Reporter. In addition, she has also achieved status as a Certified Realtime Reporter and Certified LiveNote Reporter.
She confesses to being a people pleaser by nature with a “nothing is impossible” attitude, which is what helped her grow Jensen Reporting from a one-man shop to a worldwide court reporting agency. Rhonda is extremely grateful and blessed to be surrounded by her talented and loyal staff that share her passion. Her managerial staff have been by her side for over 25 years. Rhonda was able to acquire three court reporting companies; and then, after celebrating 30 years in business, she sold her company to Lexitas. She continues to enjoy working closely with her clients, court reporters, and staff.
Rhonda belongs to the National Court Reporters Association, Illinois Court Reporters Association, and Society for the Technological Advancement of Reporting. Rhonda also enjoys serving on the Board of Trustees for MacCormac College and on the SBAC Board of Directors.
Rhonda enjoys spending time with her family and friends, traveling, attending fitness classes, and scrapbooking. Her favorite board game is Scrabble, and she also enjoys reading.
