Valerie D. Parker, Production Coordinator
Valerie is the Production Coordinator
for Link Media. She has coordinated shoots and several live shows for Link Media’s teen-focused public access show,
“We Got Issues.” She brings a diverse background to the company and we’re glad to have her as a part of
our team.
Raised and educated in Richmond
Public Schools, Valerie earned a BA in English from Virginia Commonwealth University.
One of the most rewarding experiences she has been afforded was learning under such authors as Jacqueline Woodson,
Cornelius Eady, and Norma Fox-Mazer (to name a few) with the National Book Foundation’s summer writing camps in upstate
New York and Barrington, Massachusetts (Summers 1995, 1996, 1998, and 2000).
She has also been given
the experience of learning the world of theatre as a member of the now-defunct Johari Players, a student theatre organization
on the campus of VCU. It was there that she received training under Dr. A. Clifton
Myles, a then-graduated student, who gave direction in acting, stage and prop management to Johari Players.
She now adds Link Media to her
resume and has used her extensive communications background to help the company grow.
