Hey, I'm Valerie. I'm a communications specialist focused on creative and technical storytelling.

For better or worse, I'm not afraid to ask dumb questions. Clarifying questions. Questions that may seem minor at first, but when answered, unspool a great story or solution.

In a previous life, I was a music journalist for MTV and NYLON Magazine, a tour marketer for indie record label Polyvinyl Records, and a publicist for the San Francisco International Film Festival.

I like to stay sharp, busy, and creative.
