Sherie Y. Smith, M.S.
Producer. Media Specialist. Storyteller.
I believe every great story has a heartbeat—and my job is to find it. With more than 10 years of experience in video production, I’ve learned that the most impactful content comes from honesty, emotion and a clear point of view. Whether it’s an Olympic moment or a quiet gesture of gratitude, I use video to bring those stories to life and create something that truly resonates.
I’m a video producer, storyteller and creative problem-solver who’s spent my career capturing moments that matter—whether it’s an Olympic celebration, a Hall of Fame tribute or the look on someone’s face when they talk about the person who helped them get there.
I specialize in emotionally resonant storytelling through video, editing, and sound. Whether I’m behind the camera or deep in the edit suite, I love piecing together the golden nuggets that bring a story to life. I’m passionate about representation in sport and media, and I believe good content doesn’t just inform—it inspires.
I hold a B.A. in Public Relations and Advertising and an M.S. in Media Arts and Technology from Duquesne University, where I also served as captain of the Women's Track & Field team and set the high jump record (yes, I still check if it’s been broken). That same competitive energy now fuels my work—whether I’m coordinating a live stream, mentoring interns, or editing something at midnight because I know it could be just a little better.
Outside of work, I’m usually spending time with family, discovering new food spots, hiking, or rollerblading. I’m also a big fan of Yelp reviews and track & field meets.
