“Tina is a true gem here at Clemson. She is often behind the scenes (or a video lens), but the work she does and helps produce is nothing short of true masterpieces. Flexible, always makes people laugh and puts them at ease, creative, thoughtful – I could go on and on, but she is an outstanding teammate. I am grateful that I get to work with her regularly. If you’ve ever seen any of the amazing video content we put out (think of even many of the videos that go on social), that’s Tina and her team. I’ve worked at a few universities during my career so far, and almost immediately upon arriving at Clemson several years ago, I said our video team is one of the best I’ve ever seen, and that remains true. Tina helps our team excel and she elevates the brand of the Tiger Paw through her work every day. ” – Porscha Elton, Executive Director, Presidential Communications
