Valerie has worked as a Life Skills Coach in Old Town, FL since October 2025.  With over 19 years of experience in respite, home health, and hospice care, Valerie has dedicated more than half of her adult life to helping others. She holds a high school diploma, completed coursework in Medical Administration through Phoenix Online, and earned certifications from the Antonella Institute as a CNA, HHA, and LPN.

​

A passionate advocate for veterans, Valerie has had the honor of assisting post-9/11 veterans—as well as those who served from World War II through Vietnam—with obtaining disability benefits. Her deep respect for those who have served stems from her own family’s military history, including her father, uncles, and brothers. Though she has not served personally, she considers it a privilege to support those who have, believing that every individual who has dedicated themselves to protecting our country deserves to be cared for and honored.
