About me

As the Interim Head of Media Production Services, I collaborate with JMU faculty and staff to create instructional media that can be used in their courses and departments for educational purposes. We specialize in all forms of multimedia creation, including video, photography, audio (narration and podcasting), and graphic design (still and animated).

I started working in Media Production Services as a JMU student for 2 years, and joined as a staff member in the Libraries in 2015. I am also an adjunct professor within the College of Education’s Learning, Technology & Leadership Education department. I was voted Best Staffer in 2019 and 2020 in The Breeze’s “Best of the Burg” survey.
