Audio
An NPR junkie, I’m both an avid consumer and producer of audio news. My pieces have aired on NPR-affiliates, independent radio stations, and WTBU. I’m also an avid (and award-winning) podcaster. You can find some of my sample work, below. COVID-19 has prevented volunteers from the Big Sister Association of Greater Boston from mentoring the…
Video
For as long as I can remember, I’ve enjoyed telling people’s stories in an engaging manner, particularly through video!

Additional on-camera work (short films)
Exercising one’s creativity — whether in the form of creative writing, singing, dancing, or acting — has the added benefit of helping to hone communications skills and techniques. It’s also a lot of fun! Below, you’ll find some recent work that showcases my on-camera presence in a different light.
About Me
Hi, I’m Valerie. Previously a marketing and communications executive, I decided to follow my passion for telling people’s stories and bringing important information to light by pursuing a master’s in Journalism. With extensive experience working at what US News & World Report ranked as the #1 Hospital in the country and #1 medical school, I’m especially passionate about covering health and science news, as well as issues affecting our most vulnerable populations. When I’m not chasing a story, I’m on the hunt for the best almond and chocolate croissants in Boston and beyond, writing or reading at a coffee shop, hiking, or hosting friends and family for brunch.
