About M3′s Team
Account Executives
Assisting you from within the plant is a personal Account Executive; I am very fortunate to work with the best team of AE’s.
They each oversee trouble-free production of each page of every yearbook. Assisting them is a service team. Like our manufacturing teams, a customer service team means better communication and allows the plant to respond quickly to questions and needs.
Our entire customer service staff receives extensive training in all aspects of yearbook production and each member is ready to respond whenever we need them.

Important Members of the M3 Team
Jaclyn Rhoads, a former editor-in-chief for JP Taravella’s Odyssey yearbook (1997-1998), has known Marcia since 1994. She was an instructor for 
Florida Yearbook Seminar from 1998-2002 and has been M3′s webmaster since 2003.
Jaclyn has stayed within the journalism/communications world professionally. She has worked in marketing, communications, design, and public relations for companies such as Florida Credit Union, the University of Florida, and the Florida Nursery, Growers and Landscape Association. A graduate of UF with a masters in advertising, Jaclyn continues to use yearbook skills everyday in her career.
Married to her college sweetheart, Jesse, since 2004, Jaclyn currently resides in the Orlando area and works full time in marketing communications while running a freelance design and web business, Style Studio. Contact her at jaclyn.rhoads@gmail.com
Kyle Eichin decided to work more closely with Marcia and her Camp Wannamaka planning despite the fact that he has worked with her since 7th grade on yearbooks and KNEW what he was getting into when he took on the title of Camp Director. Seriously, Kyle worked his way up to the Editor-in-Chief position as a sophomore and kept refining his skills as he improved the quality of his yearbook at Edgewood Jr Sr High School of Choice in Merritt Island.
Now a sophomore Advertising and Business Management double major in the Honors Program at Florida State, Kyle still works on his social media skills by handling Marcia’s. He heads up FSU’s only all-male a cappella group, Reverb, and works as an Undergraduate Processing Assistant in the Office of Admissions and Records.
Mike Bennett, Marcia’s videographer, began working with MySeminars, LLC at its inception shooting, editing, designing the opening and closing presentations since 2009. He is totally responsible for all content for coverage of “Doodle for a Day,” “Leadership Ramp UP” and “Camp Wannamaka.” In real life he serves as Digital Media tech on BCC’s Cocoa campus and is involved with Brevard’s Historical, Environment and Cultural Tourism Commission producing video presentations for several business’s ad campaigns, historic sites and wildlife sanctuaries. For example, his latest efforts include a 30-minute program designed for PBS entitled “Discovering Brevard” which showcases locals talking about Brevard’s hidden treasures.
Randy Stano, professor of practice, journalism and visual journalism at the University of Miami, was the Knight Foundation Chair for the School of Communication from 1995 to 2008. Previously, he was director of editorial art and design for The Miami Herald where he served on two Pulitzer Prize-winning teams. He is the recipient of commendations from the Society of News Design in addition to virtually every award CSPA can bestow. He currently serves as editorial/design adviser for the award-winning Ibis yearbook and Distraction Magazine at The U.
Randy is the recipient of the 2011 Robert and Christine Staub Faculty Excellence Award for Outstanding Achievement in Effective Teaching at the University of Miami School of Communication.
The Staub Faculty Excellence Award, an endowed gift from UM alumnus Robert Staub, B.B.A., ’56, and his wife, Christine, recognizes a School of Communication faculty member for effectiveness in teaching, advising, mentoring, and service roles in and outside the classroom. Students and alumni nominated deserving professors and a School committee selected the winner.
“I am honored, but I’m surprised it’s me,” says Stano. “There are so many deserving professors at the School. I really enjoy watching my students grow and continue to move forward when they leave here. I don’t have kids of my own, so these are my kids.”
Stano, who joined the University in 1995, is also the advisor to The Ibis, the UM yearbook, and DISTRACTION, the School’s magazine. In 2010, he was named College Media Yearbook Adviser of the Year. Through these roles, his mentoring has spread to thousands of students across campus.
“Randy Stano represents both the spirit and purpose of the Staub Faculty Excellence Award,” says Sam L Grogg, dean of the School of Communication. “Randy’s teaching extends beyond the classroom, having a lifelong positive impact on his students. He is truly a master teacher.”
An award-winning newspaper designer who worked at a number of publications across the country prior to coming to UM, Stano spends his summers leading student groups to major design centers in the world, holding special workshops, and sponsoring students to participate in the Society of News Design, the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, and other organizations in order to expand their experience and learning. Students under his tutelage have consistently won top awards for college media from the most prestigious organizations around the world.
“Christine and I are pleased that a professor who has been here 15 years is the first recipient of this award and that so many alumni took the time to recognize him,” says Staub. “His background and excellence in the classroom is only exceeded by what he’s done outside the classroom for the students.”
Stano will receive $2,500 as part of the award, and will be named on a permanent plaque in the School’s reception lobby. Stano was honored during the School’s annual faculty luncheon at the BankUnited Center in April.
Marissa Cartier, the newest member of the graphics team, finds inspiration everywhere. For example, on a Dove candy wrapper she read: “You cannot discover new oceans unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore,” and has made this a life lesson to push her onward.
