About Me

Denise Petrulis, Founder

My name is Denise Petrulis. My firm, DAP Transcription, provides transcription services, specializing in legal transcription. Additional services include digital scoping, podcast and interview transcription, and administrative services to support attorneys and law firms, including civil litigation documentation support. I look forward to working with you to meet your needs.

I value authentic communication. I prioritize honest, straightforward discussions about your work as I partner with you to understand your needs and successfully complete the work. Authentic communication also means that you will receive accurate, timely, and properly formatted deliverables from me when we work together.

To create your deliverables, I integrate expertise I’ve acquired throughout my career to pay attention to details, plan for success, and ask the right questions. This ensures key details are incorporated into the final deliverable. I always do my best to ensure we succeed together.

I was born and raised in Los Angeles, and I am happy to call Los Angeles home. I am a career project manager, which means that I am always planning, preparing for, and delivering success. I enjoy digging into the details to make sure nothing crucial is missed as we work together. I have worked in a variety of industries, including:

  • Intellectual Property

  • Information Technology

  • Education

  • Health Care

  • Government

  • Affordable Housing

This wealth of industry experience means that I integrate information and apply rules quickly and effectively.

I am now charting my own path as an entrepreneur so I can share my expertise with you. I look forward to developing new partnerships and sharing my love of project management and authentic communication with you.

When I’m not working, I spend my time at the gym, practicing yoga, meditating, and connecting with my family, friends, and community. We love going to soccer and rugby games, concerts, and museums.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics-Economics from Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island and my MBA from UCLA Anderson.
