HEY THERE,
I’M MARIAH BAKER
Welcome to my site
ABOUT ME
I am a 2-time Emmy Award-winning producer with a passion for storytelling and bringing a creative vision to life. From a young age, I’ve always had a sense of motivation and passion driving me forward. Whether it’s exploring unique opportunities, learning additional skills, or meeting new people, I bring these values to every experience throughout my life on a personal and professional level. My expertise includes producing, project management, editing, videography, writing for broadcast, communication, and strengthening key tent pole relationships with clients. I strive to create meaningful, relevant, and compelling content for multiple platforms. I thrive on working collaboratively to create innovative content while meeting vigorous deadlines. My colleagues would describe me as a driven, resourceful individual who maintains a positive, proactive attitude when faced with adversity.
Anthony Bourdain once said, "Skills can be taught. Character you either have or you don't have." While my background is predominately in sports production, I look forward to new challenges in other industries as well. I am confident that my skill set can make an impact on any team from day one.
