I have been at EIU since 2002. I currently work full-time for WEIU TV as the production manager and have taught part time in Communication Studies since 2007. As a member of the production department for WEIU TV, I spend most of my time producing a variety of television and video programs. Currently, I am the producer and co-host of Heartland Highways, a travel series that airs regionally in Illinois as well as across the country on the RFDTV Network. I enjoy all aspects of video production from planning to shooting, editing and everything in between. I love sharing my real-world experience in the classroom and helping students reach their goals.
