“A business that solves all your formatting mysteries.”
Document Whisperer was formed May of 2021 in New York State by Elecia Almekinder, who resides in Rochester, New York, and Janine Nash, from Cincinnati, Ohio. Document Whisperer collectively brings 25+ years of experience in computer support and software training in several industries, from non-profit to legal, corporate, university, and technology. Providing document formatting services, produce templates and forms, as well as marketing materials. Applications include Microsoft Windows, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Google Workspace, and PDF editing with Kofax and Adobe. They are passionate about educating their clients with training for a variety of document management systems.
“Our breadth and depth of experience is the reason we are great at what we do. Our love for teaching is our “why!” We enjoy seeing the “light bulbs” turn on for our learners, when they come to realize their full potential. There is an educational disparity between some communities; our intention is to help bridge that gap within the corner of the world we have been charged to serve. We teach learners how to “fish” to build their confidence, so they are comfortable using standard office applications and the tools needed to gain viable employment, as well as facilitate growth in their current positions.”
Elecia Almekinder’s career background is well-rounded; both in experience and industry. From grant writing to founding the first word processing business in Chicago, she is a visionary. As vice president of the first company in the United States to produce research abstract reports, she helped deliver cutting edge information to corporate and law librarians. Elecia has helped fundraise for art galleries and managed the document production section of IT for the United Way of Greater Rochester. There, she helped deploy decentralized PC technology to staff and realized her love for training! She believed matching the learner’s logic to the system’s logic would significantly facilitate the learning process and help learners build confidence in being more efficient and effective in their jobs. Elecia cares about the person and focuses on reducing frustrations and the mysteries of technology to help learners become masters of their careers.
Janine Nash received a Pell grant to attend a word processing class… her career catalyst. She graduated early and was immediately hired by Aetna in their Commercial Insurance division. The company paid for computer training and promoted her from word processing to computer support. She later moved
on as a consultant at Proctor and Gamble in computer support and network administration, then on to research and development. An opportunity to move into the public sector as an IT Manager opened up at (what was then known as) the Greater Cincinnati One-Stop Career Resource Center. The OneStop was a collaboration of community-based organizations that conveniently served residents with relevant employment services in one place; from classes on interviewing skills to a computer lab for job searching. The network included organizations such as Dress for Success, Urban League, Community Action Agency, United Way, etc. Janine was responsible for designing and implementing the computer network that connected these organizations and provided software training for staff and the community they served. This is where she discovered her passion for teaching. She eventually moved on to a Project Management and Trainer position with a mid-size law firm.
