The U.S. Agency for International Development contracted me to travel to Mexico and Honduras to produce videos, stories and photos about aquaculture research it funded there. The following four videos are products of that trip. The video on cichlids has been viewed 72,000 times on YouTube.
As the communications manager at Oregon Sea Grant, I was the producer of the following video about microplastics in shellfish. I oversaw a student intern who filmed and edited it. I interviewed the researcher, accompanied the student on shoots in the field and lab, organized the sequence of the voiceover, and provided guidance on editing. The video won an award of distinction from the Communicator Awards in the category of online science videos. It has been viewed nearly 9,000 times.
I filmed and edited the video on the quest nature hike at Beverly Beach, and I edited the Oregon Sea Grant 2020 highlights reel.
Below are videos and slideshows I created while at Extension and Experiment Station Communications. The video on how to make a trap to catch the spotted wing drosophila fly has been viewed more than 18,000 times. It is one of seven videos I made about trapping and identifying the invasive insect. Combined, my videos on the fruit-damaging fly have been seen over 30,000 times. One viewer wrote: "Thank you for these informative videos. We are a small organic berry farm in NC and found what we think are the Spotted Wing Drosophila Fly for the first time last evening. We will start setting out our first traps tomorrow. We appreciate Oregon State extension sharing knowledge."
