ABOUT Karen & NRV

About.png

BACKGROUND

Karen Hanson comes from a creative background as well as a professional IT background.  She has studied music, played both the piano and the guitar, sang in several choirs, sang on a praise team, and was a member of a performing arts group.  Karen’s IT background helped her become a Systems Administrator supporting staff that consisted of Vice Presidents, Project Managers, and other company staff she worked for at that time.  Karen used her high-level skill set to administer and maintain the equipment and support the staff.  Ms. Hanson also brought digital creative skills to the table including Video Production, Website Design, Editing, and Designing Graphic Layouts.  Karen's desire to focus more on a creative industry led her to start her own business in 2004 which was originally named New Roads Videography.

​​EDUCATION

Karen attended the University of Miami, in Coral Gables, FL, where she majored in Computer Science, and Miami-Dade Community College where she studied Systems Design and Analysis.  Karen also was certified in computer networks and studied to the engineer level.  Karen is also certified administratively in Microsoft Office. 

 

On the creative side, Karen is a certified producer with People TV in Atlanta, GA having taken their camera usage classes and worked on several community shows.  She later pursued film and in 2019 completed a certification program at the Georgia Film Academy through Clayton State University.  The chosen program track included Introduction to On-Set Film Production and Post Production.  The Post Production classes made her Avid User Certified in Avid Media Composer, one of the Film Industry's standards for video editing.

The NEW ROADS VIDEO Story

New Roads Video (formerly New Roads Videography) was started in 2004 because of the desire to work in an industry that offered both professionalism and creativity.  Karen, the owner and main creative force behind the company, wanted to never feel like she was working again. 

The name “New Roads Video” came from Karen’s family’s homestead in New Roads, Westmoreland, Jamaica.  The goal was to be able to work in the Film industry, do corporate projects, indie projects, and various projects that could help business owners with their social media advertising and promotional needs, design websites, and assist or consult on other projects to make them stand out and look better.  Our goal to "make you look good!" we're grateful has become a reality!

If you have a project and need help, New Roads Video is the company to come to. We look forward to working with you!
