Valerie graduated from the University of Houston (Go Coogs!), earning a Bachelor’s in Communications with minors in Marketing and Graphic Design. She started her career in the agency world as a social media marketer, working with businesses and organizations in industries ranging from nonprofits and retail to technology and travel. Because why choose one, right?

Working in two agencies and then as a freelancer, she further developed her creative and strategic skills in social media and digital marketing, becoming a Jill of all trades. Copywriting and design? Check. Paid social and analytics? Check. Digital strategy and client relations? Double check.

Now, as Digital Marketing Manager, Valerie leads digital and social strategies, while also heading content creation, paid digital advertising and email marketing.

Outside of work, you won’t find Valerie. That’s because she’s a homebody who enjoys reading a good dystopian novel, discovering a new hobby (hello, ceramics) or playing the latest game from Nintendo. But don’t worry, she still gets out to exercise at the local YMCA or one of Houston’s hike-and-bike trails.
