The case for the role

How my experience maps to the job description, and one production that taught me what sacred media can be at its best.

Qualifications

Experience meets expectation.

This section maps the core responsibilities of a Broadcast Event Producer directly to the projects and outcomes that prove I can deliver them. Each card pairs the language from the job description with concrete evidence from my career.

Project Manager

Lifecycle leadership for live events & broadcast

Demonstrated Experience
  • World Report tracking system Engineered an end-to-end project tracking system that monitored 15 simultaneous broadcast segments, video assets, intellectual property, and editing workflows. The system was a precursor to PSD's later Workfront implementation. The lead producer began coming to me to find out what needed to happen next.
  • Senior Missionary Spotlights Managed full production lifecycle for international documentary shoots in Quebec, Santiago, the Navajo Nation, Kentucky, Washington D.C., and Utah — from pre-production interviews and scheduling through on-location filming, post-production, and final approvals.
  • General Conference Broadcast Commercials Produced two broadcast television commercials on a short timeline for air on KSL-TV during General Conference weekend — evidence that I have never stopped producing and still deliver under live-broadcast deadline.
  • Cross-functional project leadership Managed a wide range of projects across live events and productions, process improvements, department-wide initiatives, course development, learning design, and communications — consistently bringing structure, clarity, and follow-through to complex work.
  • Project management tooling fluency Fluent in Workfront, Jira, Clarity, Monday.com, and Trello for production and project tracking, plus HubSpot and Zoho for customer engagement pipelines. Comfortable adapting to new tools as the work requires.
Connector

Bridge between executives, creatives & production

Demonstrated Experience
  • Validated as a natural connector (HBDI) A formal Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument assessment during my time at the Church identified interpersonal, expressing, and teaching as my dominant work-style preferences — each rated 5 out of 5. Connection-building is not just a learned skill for me; it is how I am wired to operate.
  • Selected as PSD Employee Association President Chosen by colleagues across the 500-person Publishing Services Department to lead the employee association — planning team-building events, all-hands experiences, and culture initiatives that strengthened trust and community across the department.
  • Interdepartmental harmonizer at Troomi Wireless As Interim Vice President of Marketing, led cross-functional initiatives spanning marketing, product, customer support, and operations — building executive-collaboration muscle across departments with different priorities, languages, and pace.
  • Bonneville/PSD liaison Served as the connecting point between Bonneville Communications and the Publishing Services Department for publication approvals, translation, and language quality control on Mormon.org digital media products distributed worldwide.
  • Cross-functional alignment at American Heritage Worldwide Collaborate daily with Curriculum, Services, Development, Customer Support, and Production teams to move complex work forward across departments. Implemented Clarity as a project tracking system to improve visibility, alignment, and follow-through, while also strengthening team culture through recognition, shared experiences, and informal gathering points that build trust.
Team Builder

Assembling internal talent, partners & vendors

Demonstrated Experience
  • 40 producers across three resource teams Led and mentored a cross-functional team of up to 40 Digital Media Producers working on exhibits, social media, and digital products. Oversaw hiring, onboarding, performance evaluation, and ongoing professional development.
  • Established PSD's first support services team from the ground up Designed the structure, hiring framework, and operational systems that scaled support across the full Publishing Services production pipeline. Recruited and managed a rotating pool of volunteers, interns, and on-call staff for producers and program managers.
  • Church Service Missionary program at AHS Worldwide Established a vibrant CSM program in two months, growing participation nearly tenfold. A single soft-spoken missionary now serves as team lead, previously skeptical departments are requesting missionary support, and missionaries are recruiting other missionaries.
  • Human Intelligence Academy for Kids Founded a nonprofit initiative focused on helping children develop communication and connection skills, then recruited an unusually strong board of directors representing education, medicine, psychology, product management, instructional design, marketing, and public service across the United States and Canada.
  • Festival of Trees team leadership Built and led a multi-class student volunteer team at American Heritage School to create a handmade Festival of Trees entry, including a student-made quilt, hand-bound book ornaments, and original student artwork of Benjamin Franklin for a virtues-themed tree. The project united students across classes around a creative service-learning effort.
Logistics Expert

Approvals, IP, contingency & archival

Demonstrated Experience
  • Production schedules crews described as the most helpful they had ever seen Built detailed schedules covering dates, objectives, destinations, travel times, weather, flights, hotels, confirmation codes, key contacts, and emergency procedures for international and domestic field productions.
  • Approvals, translation, and language quality control across 700+ Mormon Topics videos Coordinated the multilingual workstream from translation through quality review and publication, working with Bonneville and PSD on every step. Authored the Mormon.org social media approval guide that standardized publication review across the department.
  • Intellectual property workflows and archival compliance Trained PSD's first team of intellectual property assistants through the Support Services initiative. Later, I supported the I'm a Mormon campaign as the IP liaison to internal Church processes, ensuring required documentation was gathered, organized, filed, and archived.
  • Vendor and contract management across multiple organizations Hired vendors, coordinated deliverables, and managed contracts in roles including Church producer, Little Valley Days Chair, American Heritage marketing manager, Troomi VP of Marketing, and American Heritage Worldwide Director of Growth and Engagement.
  • Consensus-building and approval leadership Secured approval for new and improved initiatives across multiple institutions, including launching American Heritage School's first literary magazine, updating curriculum for a rapidly changing technology course at UVU, and establishing a Church Service Missionary program at American Heritage Worldwide.
Creative Lead

Trusted creative vision & consultation

Demonstrated Experience
  • Documentary script proposals and digital advertising copy across Church campaigns Wrote scripts, digital advertising copy, and documentary script proposals for World Report, I'm a Mormon, Light the World, JustServe, and the Senior Missionary Spotlights — balancing creative impact with the doctrinal precision and global audience reach the Church requires.
  • Founded school's first literary magazine at American Heritage Created a new publication platform for student writing, photography, and artwork, taking the project from concept to production. An example of bringing a creative idea to life through editorial leadership and operational follow-through.
  • Creative work seen through an instructional designer's eye Beyond broadcast craft, I bring the lens of a teacher and instructional designer — shaped by university teaching at BYU-Idaho, BYU-Pathway Worldwide, and Utah Valley University, and doctoral work in Instructional Design and Technology. The strongest creative work also teaches: words paired with feeling, doctrine encoded in memory, the audience invited to participate. That dual lens informs every editorial and creative decision I make.
  • Cross-campus KSL-TV General Conference commercial Coordinated a cross-campus video ad for KSL-TV to air during April General Conference weekend, collaborating with creative marketing professionals and administrators across the Salt Lake City, American Fork, Online, and Worldwide campuses to shape the message, gather assets, align stakeholders, and deliver the final piece.
  • Creative instruction that captured attention and changed engagement Approached both online and in-person teaching as a creative communication challenge: first capturing attention through visuals, story, structure, and interaction, then using that attention to help ideas reach the heart and influence action. As one UVU student noted in the course evaluation: "Chanté's approach to teaching is like nothing I've ever experienced. She teaches her students in a fun and engaging way, letting us use creative freedom in all of our assignments, and she encouraged us to think outside the box."
Servant Leader

Influencing without formal authority

Demonstrated Experience
  • Unanimous Director's Council approval for PSD-University Designed and launched a department-wide training program serving 500 people. Secured unanimous approval from the Director's Council — leaders I did not formally report to — by building the case and rallying relationships across department lines. Cut onboarding orientation time by 50%.
  • Skeptics to advocates with the Church Service Missionary Program Faced institutional skepticism that volunteer missionaries could integrate into a fast-paced online learning environment. Built a joyful, supportive culture where missionaries were entrusted with meaningful work. Previously skeptical departments now request missionary support for their own teams — change driven by results, not authority.
  • Funding for student music and theater attendance As Student Body President at Snow College, persuaded peers and administrators to fund free student admission to music and theater performances — bringing uniformity with the existing free athletic admission. A lasting policy change driven by influence rather than positional authority.
  • Student-centered teaching that built trust Built learning environments in three different schools where students felt personally known, supported, and capable. One BYU-Idaho student wrote, "You can feel how much she cares about you and wants you to succeed," while another commented that my greatest strength is "sincere concern for each student and desire for us to succeed."
  • Community service leadership through Little Valley Days Chaired a week-long city celebration with 30 events, 150 volunteers, and 30 vendors. City officials only wanted to preserve beloved traditions, but I persuaded them to expand the celebration to include outside vendors and new activities to improve the celebration for our citizens. I then created a desk reference for the celebration that is still being used by future volunteer leaders.
Communicator

Executive presentations & clear messaging

Demonstrated Experience
  • Executive-level presentations and department-wide training Designed and delivered presentations for senior leaders, cross-functional stakeholders, and large employee audiences, including a department-wide training for more than 500 PSD employees on core cultural values.
  • 15+ years of public speaking to religious and business audiences Presented across the Intermountain West and beyond, drawing on formal training in theater, improv, public speaking, broadcast journalism, and presentation design.
  • Convocations speaker at BYU and Snow College Selected twice to speak on behalf of my graduating class: for the BYU Communications Department and for Snow College.
  • Senior Church leader and stakeholder communication As Manager of Digital Media Producers, partnered with senior Church leaders and internal stakeholders to align production priorities, resource allocation, and quality standards with organizational mission and objectives.
  • Executive strategy communication at Troomi Wireless As Vice President of Marketing, communicated strategy across marketing, product, customer support, and operations; translated performance data into clear recommendations for executive decision-making.
Trailblazer

Top performer · self-starter · minimal oversight

Demonstrated Experience
  • Recognized and advanced as a top performer across institutions Selected as a BYU-Idaho Teaching Team Lead and appointed to the Online Teacher Advisory Council representing approximately 1,300 instructors; earned top student evaluation ratings at UVU; was given an expanded marketing role at American Heritage School; and was later recruited by a former colleague to serve as VP of Marketing at Troomi.
  • Voluntary mastery and continuous improvement Completed five voluntary faculty development certifications at UVU — Evidence-Based Teaching, Online Teaching Academy, Inclusive/Intercultural/Global Pedagogy, Service-Learning, and AFHEA Associate Fellow — none of which were required of adjunct instructors. Pursued each from a personal commitment to mastery.
  • Validated self-starter and "Trailblazer" work style A Culture Index assessment identified my work style as a Trailblazer: a proactive, confident self-starter who thrives on challenging projects, persists toward objectives, and can be trusted to move into "uncharted territory" to get to the other side.
A Moment That Moved Me

A time I made content that moved people, not just informed them.

The clearest example is the Senior Missionary Spotlights a series of documentary portraits I field-produced during my Media Producer years in Publishing Services. We traveled to Quebec, Santiago, the Navajo Nation, rural West Virginia, Kentucky, Washington, D.C., and Utah, documenting senior couples who had chosen to serve full-time missions in their later years.

What humbled me most was the sacrifice itself. These couples paid their own way. They arranged for someone to care for their homes while they were gone. They left children and grandchildren behind for eighteen months, two years, sometimes more. Then they showed up — to help families on the Navajo Nation, support missionary efforts in Santiago, archive records in Washington, D.C., and serve communities in rural West Virginia. They went wherever they were sent, and they brought their whole lives with them.

The series was part of a broader prophetic invitation. In the January 2011 Ensign and again in October 2012 General Conference, President Thomas S. Monson explicitly called for more senior couples to serve. The Spotlights were produced in that same window, with the hope that seeing real couples in real places might help other members imagine themselves answering that call.

Producing those stories taught me what Church media can be at its best. It is not merely a polished testimonial or a well-produced story. It can become evidence evidence of the transformation the gospel makes possible in ordinary lives. These senior couples were living proof that the love of God changes people: it enlarges their hearts, loosens their grip on comfort, and sends them outward to serve. Their stories showed the gospel in motion — disciples loving, serving, sacrificing, and being changed again through the very act of giving themselves away.

I left every shoot more committed to the work because I had seen what sacred storytelling could carry. The camera was not simply documenting service; it was bearing witness to consecrated lives. The content did not just inform viewers that senior missions existed. It invited them to feel why such service matters, to see themselves in the story, and perhaps to ask whether the Lord might have a place for them in that same work.

That is the kind of content I want to create: work that does not simply explain the mission of the Church, but helps people see and feel what the gospel can do in a human life.

We weren't just producing missionary content. We were producing evidence of the Gospel's transformational power.
