Welcome to Reagan Student Media!

I am thrilled that your student has chosen my program. We are finishing a banner year where we celebrated:

• Our first State Championship in Broadcast News;

• Our first medal, 2nd place, UIL State Journalism News Writing;

• District 27-6A Journalism Championship;

• 34 UIL Ribbons;

• 6 JEA/NSPA National awards for yearbook and broadcast;

• JEA Rising Star Adviser Nomination.

Expectations for my student journalists are high, our schedule will be demanding but your student will flourish among the best student journalists in the country.

I have over two decades of experience in network-level TV production, most recently as a part of ESPN’s Remote Production team nominated for seven Emmys. I have worked on production teams with every network in the US. I also worked in print journalism, beginning my career while a high school student in San Antonio, writing for the San Antonio Express-News.

I continue to work on various production crews, which I often do during breaks. This affords me the opportunity to stay current with industry trends that I share with my students. I leverage my connections to bring in speakers that offer critique sessions for my students with local and national professionals. This consultation, unique to my program, spurs major growth for student’s writing, creative thinking and production skills.

I love my students and always refer to them as my kids. I am committed to sharing my passion for storytelling with them and equipping them with professional tools to be the best in the field.

If you would to support RSM by bringing snacks and meals during work nights, please let me know. We have work nights every Wednesday until 6pm. We would love your support.

I look forward to meeting you and watching your student’s potential unfold with Reagan Student Media. I am always available via email, egalle@neisd.net.

Warm Regards,

Erin Gallegos
