Throughout these last two years at Columbia, Valerie has established herself as a dynamic leader who understands the power of connecting with others in an authentic and effective way. I’ve had the honor of working with Valerie on multiple levels in which have allowed for her notable communication skills to emerge. From watching Valerie plan and lead individual and group counseling sessions in ways that display empathy and confidence, to working together to establish a new organization on campus, Valerie has proven to be an exceptional and spirited verbal and written communicator. Valerie’s work ethic, passion, attention to detail, and incredible sense of humor make her a pleasure to work with. It is without hesitation that I recommend Valerie for a school counseling position.

It is my pleasure to recommend Valerie for roles in student wellness and advocacy, counseling, and behavioral health. I served as the course assistant for Assessment in Counseling, a course in which Valerie was an exceptional student. Valerie always turned in assignments in a timely manner. She is inquisitive, organized, and passionate about multicultural mental health service delivery. Her work is of exceptional quality and she has demonstrated high achievement both in and outside of the classroom. Valerie is also an incredible leader; at Teachers College, she was a part of a small student-led effort to re-launch the Black Student Network amidst a global pandemic. On a personal note, Valerie exhibits kindness and a highly collaborative spirit that would be an asset to any organization. I am more than happy to recommend her without any reservations!
