What I do at FIT:

I manage the Media Service’s Department that provides media resources and technical support for activities and events here at FIT.  Our services and resources make a variety of activities on campus possible. The activities range from classroom applications for instructional purposes to fashion, theatrical and cultural productions, lectures and symposiums. Our main focus is and will always be our interaction with students and faculty helping them to achieve their goals. We also work with many industrial clients who require our assistance for their special events at FIT.  These special events usually have specific needs for their productions.  As a result, we are a very versatile department meeting the many technical demands that may arise that also benefits our students and faculty.  The future of the Media Department lay in the very important role of providing the technologies that are old, new, and still to come.  Likewise, it is the department’s very relationship with the students and outside groups that keeps us and FIT in touch with the newest resources that are available.                                                   

 

 

The Union is important to me because:

The Union is and always has been a valuable source of information in matters pertaining to the welfare of employee’s here at FIT.  The Union is always readily available to help with employee problems and is a great asset for everyone who works here.  As I near my 28th year here at FIT, I realize that the Union doesn’t just apply grease to the “squeaky wheels” that roll around from time to time.  Instead, the Union gives recognition to all employees who have been performing their duties and beyond. In addition, the Union has provided stability and security for all of us.  I salute the Union and thank them for being a great part of my experience at FIT. 

 

 

My Message to the FIT Community:

I have always had a very positive work experience at FIT.  I attribute my ability to excel in my work to the teamwork, excellent communication and collaboration that has always been readily forthcoming from my colleagues.  My message is primarily to the newcomers at FIT.  There are many intelligent, creative, hardworking and dedicated people here who are eager to share their knowledge and experience for the betterment of the college.  The number of years a person is an employee of FIT should be viewed as an asset not a liability.  I believe this is very important especially now that we are undergoing changes in the areas of organization, staffing and new building growth. 

 

I would like to thank everybody for being sympathetic to the limited resources that the Media Department has had to work with.  The Media Department has always managed to equip the college community and other organizations despite the consistent shortage of resources that we and many other departments have experienced. I’m wishing you all a great summer vacation and hope to see most of you in the fall.
