Dr. Hunter is among ten professors from Regent University who collaborated on The Secret Kingdom for Educators. This book will help educators tap into the kingdom of God as they go about their day-to-day activities as teachers and leaders in public, private, or home-school settings. Dr. Hunter earned her B.A. in Fine Art from Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. She earned her M.Ed. concentrating in Special Education at Regent University in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and became certified in MR, LD, and ED. In 2005 Dr. Hunter became a Doctor of Education in Special Education and Communications from Regent University. Her doctoral studies culminated into a final dissertation that incorporated an ethnographic documentary film about the expressed opinions of young adults with Down Syndrome about their classroom placement.
Using her talents as a painter, photographer, and production designer she has successfully worked in film and television production since 1979. She has won several awards for her contribution to television and film. She is a voting member of The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences since 1987 and has the privilege to vote for the Annual Daytime and Primetime Emmy Awards.
While pursuing her Doctorate in Education, Dr. Hunter worked as a teaching assistant and adjunct professor and is presently a faculty member at Regent University in Virginia Beach, Virginia. As an instructor in the Cross-categorical Special Education Program, Dr. Hunter presents her course curriculum using her skills to turn words into pictures and uses video streaming as an educational tool. She has also been instrumental in turning the hybrid courses into an online format providing content to students nationally and internationally.
Currently Dr. Hunter's 20-year-old company, Bird in Hand Productions (BIHP), researches, writes, and produces instructional videos that educate and entertain. Bird In Hand Productions has also embarked on the production of a documentary series called Waking Up With Jack, an autobiographical story that touches on how a family deals with Down Syndrome and all the things that go along with it. It is an ongoing examination of special needs students. View Dr. Hunter's vita>>
