"Buckner's various functions in film and television--producing a documentary, syndicated television sales, film development and freelance writing--her work with MicroFocus Media, and her involvement in projects that work closely with city programs and grassroots organizations for neighborhood improvement come together in her research focus. Bucker's research explores the use of imagery at the corporate and personal level with the goal of bridging gaps of communication between the two." - Media Psychology Review
