“…Ms. Hollis, with her persistence, diligence, and focus has outworked many of the other volunteers in her stay here at North Texas and has impressed me…”

Noah Sargent – Executive Producer, NTTV

“Crystal created a dvd of my daughter for her graduation. It consisted of photos of my daughter from very young to throughout high school. She added a surprise element of a clip of my daughter’s performance on the high school dance line. I was overjoyed and excited about the results. Everyone that viewed it said how impressed they were and that they loved it! Thank you Crystal for your supreme results! I love how the music captured my daughter’s personality and my emotions of the joy she has brought to my life! The action scene of her high split and animation surrounding it was truly unbelievable! The DVD has brought joy, happiness and forever memories for my family. I would encourage everyone to invest in your services. I will definitely obtain another one. Your work shows true passion and respect for your customers!”

LaShawn Edwards – Client

“Crystal is excellent to work with! She worked as a student employee with me in a photo/video division at the University of North Texas. Her main focus was on archiving, which is a job she did extremely well. She was always on top of us if we missed something in our metadata or misfiled something, which actually led to us all building some very good habits when it comes to sending our work to the archive.”

Brad Holt – Coworker, UNT University Relations, Communications, and Marketing

“Crystal has an amazing eye for detail. She always produced quality work and made others smile with her amazing personality. Crystal was the first-ever UNT PRSSA Historian and developed a solid base for the position that continues to thrive today. She would be a great asset to any organization she applies for.“

Richard Nino – Executive Officer, UNT PRSSA
