Utilizing internal and external channels of communication to reach target audiences through the use of electronic newsletters, social media platforms, print media and video production is a large part of the department. I also coordinate our Partners in Education division to serve the needs of businesses that volunteer and partner with many NISD campuses through internships and mentoring programs.

As Multimedia Specialist for the Mansfield ISD Communications and Marketing department, I have had the opportunity to expand my knowledge of district-wide events and projects. Building on my media production and teaching skills, I have been able to hone my script writing, narration and video/photography abilities to produce promotional and training content benefiting the entire district. The opening of the new MISD Center for the Performing Arts provided another opportunity to assist in the design of another AV facility capable of providing various multimedia services including an HD video production system for the 5500-seat Performance Hall. A continuing relationship with the MISD media tech program enhances current hands-on training opportunities for students in the new facility. Above all, working with the talented staff of the MISD Communications & Marketing department has strengthened my dedication to create and produce content promoting the best Mansfield ISD has to offer our students, staff and community.Additional duties include program management of the Newsom Stadium video board system, coordination of freelance and contract AV personnel, planning and management of AV budgets involving capital equipment and services, coordination of district awards programs and graduation productions, repair/installation/training support for campus multimedia systems and management of online digital video hosting sites.

As Media Tech Instructor, created and implemented the start-up process for a brand new media technology program within MISD. Start-up opportunities included student recruiting, studio and control room design, curriculum writing and budget management. The award-winning Mansfield ISD Media Technology Program has expanded to include a nationally recognized Radio Broadcasting program as well as Studio Production and Digital Editing courses. Our MISD-TV students continually excel and earn scholarship awards in annual Skills USA competitions. Construction of the Ben Barber Career Tech Academy allowed for the design of the current studio, training lab and control room from the ground up. Experience with control room design and set-up created a unique opportunity to participate in the design, installation and launch of the video board production facility located within the Vernon Newsom Stadium scoreboard room. The Newsom Stadium facility is used as a training tool for students who serve as crew handling pre-production rig set-ups, operating stationary and remote-control cameras, replay operator and production assistants.
