Q: Please share your thoughts on the ACEDS certification training, the exam and how it has benefited you both the certification and being part of the ACEDS community as a whole.

Laura A: The ACEDs certification training was extremely beneficial and the confidence I gained from validating my knowledge against my work experience has supported my continued growth.  I find the additional cross-border data rule knowledge to be valuable and supports the effective management of cross border matters.  ACEDs training has been an accelerator and validates the need for standardization.

Q: Why did you decide to get certified? Do you have other certifications?

Laura A: My previous employer offered me the certification as an option for professional development and a job perk.

I currently hold a Law PreDiscovery certification and am Relativity Administrator trained. I am fortunate in that my current employment advocates for and supports ongoing professional development. I look forward to continuing to build my certification portfolio and currently have a keen interest in forensics.

Q: Give us a background of your experience.

Laura A: My previous supervisor had nicknamed me the “hacker”, I am a self-taught eDiscovery analyst/litigation support professional and am currently a Project Manager handling a wide array of matters that span the EDRM. I launched my career as a scanning and coding clerk, the knowledge gained provided me an in-depth understanding of all aspects of service excellence and process requirements. I continued to evolve in my role and single-handedly  provided support to  all Canadian offices of a large national law firm.  This experience provided great insight around the diversity of legal team workflows and has been instrumental in my success as a project manager.
