Hi! My name is Avery Thatcher and I’m a junior at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I am majoring in Media and Journalism with minors in history and writing, editing, and digital publishing. I am pursuing a career in marketing on the advertising and public relations track within the major.

Welcome to my digital portfolio — a curated look at the work that has shaped my digital content and marketing skills. From print newspaper clips and online articles to video editing, infographics, and visual storytelling, each piece reflects a different part of how I’ve learned to connect audiences with information that matters. I also showcase my experience managing a large news website and collaborating across teams in fast-paced environments. Together, these pieces reflect the range of skills I’ve built from the classroom to the newsroom and beyond, and the curiosity and care I bring to every project.


In action!

I genuinely love what I do, and some of my favorite moments come from my time in the Daily Tar Heel newsroom. Below are some of my favorite pictures of me pursuing my passion!

Across every project, I’ve developed a versatile skill set that helps me bring ideas to life and communicate with clarity, creativity, and purpose.

My key skills include:

  • Adobe Creative Cloud
  • Digital content strategy
  • Proofreading
  • Fact checking
  • Strong interpersonal skills
  • Project management
  • Problem solving
  • Microsoft Office

I invite you to explore the projects that have shaped my voice, sharpened my skills, and fueled my passion for meaningful digital storytelling. I hope you’ll find something here that sparks your interest and shows what I can bring to your team.
