From NBCUniversal’s annual Upfront to branded campaigns for Disney and Walmart, I’ve led national-scale programs that connect brands to audiences through content, events, and innovative activations.

  • LinkedIn

Working with Val completely shifted how we thought about our brand strategy. She helped us refine our messaging so it actually resonated, and we saw an immediate difference in how people engaged with us online. Our follower growth picked up, our content felt sharper, and our team finally had clarity on how to show up consistently.

​

Communications Director |
Residential Realty Firm

Val led our event from concept to execution and made the entire process seamless. She thought through every detail, from messaging to logistics, and created an experience that not only impressed our clients but gave our team a new level of confidence. The event was polished, professional, and generated the engagement we were hoping for.

​

Director, Marketing | 
Non-Profit Organization

She helped us tighten our B-series investor presentation and designed a deck that not only looked polished but also told our story in a way that connected with investors. The end result was confidence in the room and results we could see.
