Valerie is a fantastic person to work with. She is creative, talented, positive, and up for any task. As a sponsorship partner she helped us develop new and interesting sponsorship elements for our brand, and as a client manager, she excels at building strong relationships.

Valerie is just plain great to work with! She's detail oriented, and has a strong business sense. Valerie as an account manager has always ensured that the sponsors/clients needs were met and that their vision was achieved.
