Digital Storytelling

Craft a Story Through Images and Words

Digital storytelling captures poignant stories in an electronic world. Allow me to create your video and strategically market it on You Tube. You Tube is the second largest search engine behind Google. Place well-crafted videos on You Tube and increase your search engine rankings while leaving a digital footprint.

This sample of videos has appeared on social media platforms and websites.

Media Literacy Conference

Working with the UMass Dartmouth Center for Women, Gender and Sexuality, I helped market the conference while employing my digital storytelling skills. I created this video to promote the Educating for Change Media Literacy Conference.

UMass Dartmouth Provides Free Master Charts

I worked with the staff at the Claire T. Carney Library in creating this video. I researched information about coastal charts and I collaborated with Paige Gibbs, Engineering Librarian, to write the script. The United States government chose UMass Dartmouth to dispense coastal charts to the public.

The UMass Dartmouth Claire T. Carney Library also posted a direct link to the video.

Earth Day Public Service Announcement

This public service announcement promoted Earth Day and the Horseneck Beach State Reservation. I used digital photography and manipulated the photos in Motion, added music and performed the voiceover. This psa highlighted the natural beauty of the ocean and the estuary habitat. The two miles of white sandy beach create an oceanfront playground for recreational sports. Earth Day builds environmental awareness.

Literature Transforms You Marketing Campaign

As the Director of Communication for Changing Lives Through Literature (CLTL), I created a campaign to promote literacy and to celebrate literature. Dr. Robert Waxler and Judge Robert Kane originally founded the organization as an alternative sentencing program in the prison sentence. Changing Lives Through Literature reduces the rate of recidivism and enriches our culture.
