A Florida native and resident of Annapolis since 1997 is a lover of the natural world, something she shares with her family which includes her husband, two sons and a fuzzy pup. Since her boys’ early years (they’re now 22 & 25), Greenbury Point has served as a place of discovery, respite and connection with the beauty of the Chesapeake Bay. In her professional life, Valerie is a visual designer of both digital and print media with a newfound focus on data visualization, having recently completed her Masters in Data Analysis and Visualization at MICA (post empty-nesting).
