All of these experiences have fueled my love for collaborating with others and exploring how media can connect and inspire people. One day, I hope to produce my own children’s show that encourages creativity, learning, and self-expression, and leaves a meaningful impact beyond the screen.
Outside of student organizations, I’ve worked with Temple’s Center for Media and Information Literacy, producing the TUTV show Media Inside Out, supporting programs through the center, and helping organize the Children’s Media Symposium. That experience was full-circle for me as I first attended the symposium as a freshman, and it ultimately sparked my interest in the children’s media industry. I now serve as a Patient Media and Broadcast intern in the Child Life Program at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, where I help create therapeutic media experiences with patients and support in-studio production, technical operations, and segment development.
At Temple, I’ve gotten deeply involved in campus life through roles that combine creativity, leadership, and hands-on media production. I currently serve as the Social Media and Content Manager for the Temple University Diamond Marching Band, where I create campaigns, produce short-form video content, and highlight performances and halftime shows. In this role, I also helped the band secure a spot in the 2025 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, which was an incredible experience. I’m also the Co-Digital Executive Producer for Temple Smash, our student-run sketch comedy show, where I help lead digital content and work with the team to bring sketches to life and create moments that make people smile.
WHO IS OG MEDIA?
“OG Media” comes from my initials, Olivia Gomez! However, most people just call me Ollie. I’m passionate about creating content that makes an impact and I love exploring how media can spark creativity, inspire connection, and help people express themselves. I’m currently studying Media Studies and Production at Temple University, with a minor in Digital Media Engagement and a Certificate in Children’s Media.
