Background

About Avery Walker

Hi! My name is Avery Walker and I am currently pursuing a B.S. in Business Administration with a focus on Marketing at the University of Missouri's Trulaske College of Business, expecting to graduate in May 2026 with added certificates of Global Business and Strategic Selling. I’m passionate about leveraging my marketing knowledge, global business insights, and strategic sales skills to drive business solutions that make a lasting impact. My experience spans both international and domestic roles, giving me a unique perspective on business challenges. During my study abroad in Prague, I worked with local businesses to tackle sustainability challenges, delivering comprehensive research and actionable solutions to improve solid waste management for Columbia, MO. In addition, my summer internship at Vaco Talent Solutions provided valuable experience with Keurig Dr Pepper, where I reconciled invoices, identified inventory discrepancies, and trained a new team member for a permanent position. Beyond my professional work, I actively contribute to university life as an Involvement Ambassador, helping new students integrate into campus life. I also hold leadership roles in Zeta Tau Alpha, where I’ve managed recruitment efforts and financial responsibilities, demonstrating my ability to lead and support teams effectively. I am also lucky to serve as a representative of the admissions office as a member of Outreach Student Recruitment Team to help be the positive first impression for prospective students at Meet Mizzou Days as well as speak to my experience with campus life and how to best maximize an incoming students potential at Mizzou. Additionally, I am Trulaske College of Business Student Council's Secretary on our Executive Board where I lead social networking efforts for the council as well as general administration responsibilities. I also bring my passion for dance to campus as a member of Mizzou’s Club Competition Dance Team, where I’ve embraced discipline, teamwork, and dedication while building lasting connections with teammates. I’m always looking for new opportunities to apply my skills in marketing and sales, and I’m excited to connect with like-minded professionals.
