Sheena Mitchell can run the audio board and switcher, set up and operate studio cameras, create graphics, set up and operate the teleprompter, shoot and edit stories. She is a great organizer and she can mange any operation no matter how complex or how short the timeline. Her multiple skills and strong, positive presence make her a particularly valuable crew member but she further sets herself apart from her peers by taking on the added responsibilities of still photographer and website editor. She took all of the pictures for the website and the poster, and she wrote all the clever website updates. Most recently, she started work on a cooking series which will begin in a couple of weeks.

Congrats Sheena! Your hard work on behalf of Fast Track and Fast Track Te Informa has earned you the title Student of the Week. We could not do it without you!
