Starting just 3 weeks before Hurricane Katrina, I was one of the two staff members involved in rebuilding all aspects of station operations, including creative, technical, and administrative domains. I developed and produced several original shows, hundreds of PSAs, cultural programming, and more. In addition to producing and editing five studio shows per month, I directed live, multi-camera productions on location. Furthermore, I designed all graphical content, contributing to its branding and overall visual identity and assisting in various print needs for the city. In 2010, I began sharing our original content on platforms like YouTube and Facebook to reach a global audience. I have included links to some of our YouTube content below for your reference.One of my notable achievements was the production of a show for the Code and Inspections Department, designed explicitly for a FEMA program. This initiative resulted in significant savings, amounting to $1.8 million annually in flood insurance premiums—adjusted to $3.5 million in 2023 values and continues today. Additionally, I have produced and edited several marketing videos for the Kenner Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB), which successfully secured national bids and accounted for an estimated $21 million in economic impact. Moreover, I developed a marketing campaign encouraging our residents to "SHOP KENNER FIRST" during the Christmas shopping season, which was well-received and supported local businesses.Through strategic recommendations, I successfully identified savings of $83,000 in the city's 2018-2019 budget, ensuring an ongoing annual savings of $33,000.
