About me
Avery Walker
Welcome! I’m Avery Walker, a passionate digital multimedia specialist with a focus on video production and a deep commitment to using my skills for impactful storytelling. I recently graduated from Temple University's Media Studies & Production program with a Bachelor of Arts, a minor in Gender, Sexuality, & Women's Studies, and a Film Certificate. Stepping into my postgrad life, my career is rooted in the belief that media has the power to inspire, inform, and uplift people.
Since moving to Philadelphia from Missouri in 2019, I've immersed myself in the world of media production, honing my skills across various facets of the industry. With my family's roots in Kentucky, I bring a unique perspective and work ethic shaped by diverse life experiences and environments.
Over the past five years, I have gained versatile experience in media production, from working in a television studio with PhillyCAM to capturing live street paintings by celebrated artists with the Trops Gallery. I’ve tracked fast-moving hockey pucks for Sports Fan Base Network and operated switchers as a show producer for my Intermediate Video Production course. My editing experience spans from fast-paced social media content to scripted narrative pieces. I am practiced in handling various audio/visual tasks, whether it’s editing footage on my laptop, filming with my DSLR on location, operating large HDTV cameras in the studio, or engaging with subjects and community members to bring projects to life.
My expertise lies primarily in video production, where I’m skilled in editing, shooting, and working with a variety of media tools and technologies. However, my experience also extends into the realm of social media marketing, where I’ve developed content strategies and managed campaigns that connect with audiences on a deeper level.
Looking ahead, I’m eager to explore various career paths within the media industry. While I’m passionate about media production in a studio environment, I’m equally interested in diving deeper into marketing, analytics, and business strategy. My goal is to find a role that allows me to leverage my production skills while also expanding my understanding of the broader media landscape.
No matter where my career takes me, I’m committed to creating content that resonates, informs, and inspires.
