Please help us congratulate this month's service award recipients, Sarah Khalida Mohamad and Amy Miller, for their incredible work at KQED! 🎉 As an Audience Engagement Producer, Sarah has contributed amazing reporting, engagement, and design work for the KQED Science team. She’s expanded her skills greatly in the past 5 years, and it has been amazing to see how much she has done in this role. Amy has held four different jobs at KQED for 17 years here. Still, in her five years as Director of Video Production and Distribution, she has helped the digital video department innovate production workflows, evolve content strategies, and create new distribution opportunities for KQED video to expand onto new platforms and reach new audiences.
