Determined to Make a Difference
Kayla Gibb has been an employee of Pittman Park United Methodist
Church for two years. Kayla serves as an audio and media technician at Pittman
Park. She is in charge of all the media productions, and her hard work is seen
through the quality of work she produces.
As the audio and media technician, Kayla creates and produces videos,
maintains the website, and edits video footage from the weekly sermons. The
videos that she produces are used as weekly countdowns or as an introduction
to a new series topic. The videos are on the cutting edge of technology, and
are used as a vital tool in the Sunday services.
Kayla accepted the job at Pittman Park, because she has always had a
passion for video productions and hopes to one day have her own multimedia
communications company. She wants to create and produce films that can be
used to impact others. Kayla hopes that the videos she will create in the future
will cause the viewers to examine their life and the meaning behind it. She

plans on incorporating her faith in her film making in order to make a
difference in other people’s lives.
Kayla Gibb is not only an employee at Pittman Park but also a full time
student at Georgia Southern. She is in her junior year at Georgia Southern, and
is majoring in Multimedia Communications. Kayla is able to put the knowledge
she is learning at school into action through her work at Pittman Park, which is
giving her hands on experience.
The experience Kayla has obtained at Pittman Park has helped her gain
other opportunities to strengthen her skills. Kayla worked on the Media
Productions crew for the Catalyst Conference in 2009. That experience gave
her the opportunity to practice capturing live footage in front of a large
audience, and then editing the footage in a quick turn around. The experience
at Catalyst helped Kayla perfect her skills so that she can produce quality work
in a short time frame. Kayla plans on working as part of the productions crew
for Catalyst again next year.
Kayla’s job at Pittman Park does not stop with the media productions, but
she also serves as a leader in the youth program. Kayla has been involved with
the youth program for two years now. She is the leader of the middle school
girl’s small group, and serves as a role model for the students. In the near

future, Kayla plans on developing a media and drama team in the youth
program. She will incorporate the youth in the planning and producing of short
videos, and then use those videos to promote the youth program.
Kayla developed her love for youth and passion for film through her
family’s encouragement. Kayla is one of two children and grew up in Augusta,
Georgia. She grew up in a home where she was always encouraged and
supported to follow her dreams. She has been taught from a young age about
the positive impact you can make on people if you so choose too. Her parents
have instilled in her the value of faith, and have helped her see that she can
combine her values and her passion for film.
Kayla is not only busy at work and with the youth, but she is very active in
other areas as well. Kayla loves the outdoors and takes part in any outdoor
activities whenever she can. She often leaves work and heads to the park in
order to relax and enjoy the sun. She loves to grab a good book and read it
while she enjoys the outdoors. Kayla is often inspired when reading a good
book about possible new video ideas for Pittman Park or future film ideas.
Kayla is a valued and cherished employee at Pittman Park. Her hard work
is seen week after week through her productions. Her videos bring laughter
and insight to service every Sunday. Her work often leaves her working long
hours but she is always determined to do her job well. She has been an impact
to the whole organization at Pittman Park. Her work speaks highly of the

impact that she is creating. She is a vital member of the staff here at Pittman
Park, as well as a great role model for our youth. Her passion for film and her
faith will take her far, and will make a mark on all those she meets.
