Jamie Baker (she/her/hers) has been a professional audio engineer for over 25 years and a member of the Audio Engineering Society since 1995. She currently serves on the AES Atlanta Section, Education, and DEI Committees, she judged the AES Education Foundation Mary Lea Simpson Scholarship applicants for the past several years, and she is the founding and current Faculty Advisor for the AES SCAD Savannah Student section. Jamie has also enjoyed being a Sound for Picture mentor at several AES NY conventions for SPARS. After learning how to make records in Detroit and touring the continent on bass and backing vocals with a NY indie punk-pop band, she shifted her path from music to post sound and began her career in NY at various jingle and post houses. Major career milestones include working as a Sound One messenger, a machine room operator and recording engineer at Gun For Hire Post, a Foley recordist/editor/supervisor at C5, Inc., and a sound designer and re-recording mixer for various clients including HBO, MTV, PBS, Food Network, A&E, Oxygen, and NBCUniversal.
In 2019, while Jamie was freelancing in post in NYC and teaching sound design curriculum at Pratt in Brooklyn, NY, she was appointed a full-time professorship in the Sound Design department at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, GA. Currently, Jamie teaches there full-time and continues her remote freelance post audio work when school is not in session. She has a 5.1 Pro Tools HD studio and is seasoned at working remotely as a re-recording mixer and sound editor for clients such as Discovery Network, Hulu, OWN, and Disney+. In addition to the AES, her freelance work, and her teaching, Jamie has also volunteered and mentored for the Post NY Alliance and SoundGirls.org, has judged the Annual News and Documentary Emmy Awards for many years, and participates as a blue-ribbon panelist for the Motion Picture Sound Editors Golden Reel Awards. The AES continues to be a highlight in Jamie's life and career, she thoroughly enjoys hosting a table at the AES Education Fairs at the NY Conventions and Student Workshops held by the Atlanta Section each September. Jamie is honored and delighted to be a part of the AES family.
