Records retention detective
In today’s world, with nearly all information stored electronically, many non-information management people declare, “Keep everything forever—storage is cheap.” They might look at the numbers and opt to just store everything instead of hiring experienced professionals to ‘clean house’…until it’s too late. The consequences of not planning wisely can be devastating to an organization’s...

A change of SCENERY
Most of my life was spent in Washington State. I was born and raised there, so to relocate from the West Coast to a completely different state where the only person I knew was the real estate agent was, in a word, upending. However, I felt I was up to the task and ready for an adventure! In September 2024, I decided to take a reconnaissance trip to Missouri. I had looked at the map and liked...
Cool Yule!
In just one year, I have to pinch myself. Dossier has grown from just a company of one person to three additional employees!

Like a Turntable….I can Spin Records and make them Sing!
Meet Teresa! I began my professional career on the infamous Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository (aka the Yucca Mountain Project). There, I climbed the rungs of my first corporate ladder from a Clerk in the Training Department through six promotions over the next 9+ years to a Records Analyst in the Records Management Department. Once I realized that Records and Documents are the heartbeat...
Merry Vibes!
2022 will be a year I shall never forget, as this was the year that my company Dossier was launched. A dear friend of mine once said, “jump, and the universe will catch you.” Once I had made the decision to plunge into the unknown, I was fortunate to receive a call asking me to be the document control manager for my first ever project. I am indebted to all the people who made this happen...
Mistress of Information
