With a career devoted to broadcast and digital content, I use my creative skills to tell stories: Stories for my community, stories for my company, and stories for our clients.
With successful roles in digital journalism, integrated marketing, organizational branding, motion graphics design and video production, I am experienced in all components of the creative process. Coupled with personal interests in areas of technology and efficiency, I am a versatile creative marketing generalist. I like to refer to myself a “creative dork.”
I am the Brand Manager at TEGNA Media’s Cleveland property, WKYC Studios.
My work in the creative and digital spheres earned me Emmy and Promax awards and additional accolades. I received an alumni award from Kent State University’s School of Media and Journalism for my continued mentoring and support of its student media.
Oh, and it’s pronounced “HERV-uh-tin.”
