Mrs. Nuss
Welcome!
As part of the North Carolina Career Cluster: Arts, A/V Technology and Communications, Mooresville High School offers Visual Design, Video Production, Film Production and Film Production 2, as well as a class dedicated to the Blue Devil Update homeroom announcements show and school system's TV station.
I am one of the Media and Film Production teachers at Mooresville High School. I began teaching at NF Woods Advanced Technology and Arts Center, a campus of Mooresville High School, in 1998. Prior to that, I taught in Florida for 1 1/2 years.
I graduated from the University of Florida in 1996 with a degree in Telecommunications-Video Production and a minor in Business Administration.
GO GATORS!!
I also worked in the industry by directing local TV News, editing commercials for a cable company, interning in media relations for the Olympics in Atlanta, and interning in a corporate communications environment in Washington DC.
In 2004, I received my Master of Science in Technology Education from North Carolina A&T State University.
In 2005, I earned my National Board for Professional Teaching Standards Certification; I renewed my National Board Certification in 2014.
In 2017 we moved our classrooms and studio from NF Woods to the main campus of Mooresville High School.
I have a wonderful husband and two beautiful and talented children. We love to travel and have been to all 50 states! I recently started my own travel blog www.travelmakingmemories.com
