Valerie began her professional career as an Air Force Officer, serving through the rank of Captain in technical communications. After military service, she stepped into the role of military spouse, mother of 9, and founder of “the Close-Knit Family: Nurturing Strategies for the Family.” Her 33-year marriage was eventually devastated and shattered, ending due to spousal abandonment and unfaithfulness.

Forced to restart life, Valerie spent the next many years as a single parent to her remaining four children (all teens) and restarted life professionally to shelf-support. Having been a stay-at-home mother for years, it helped that she had entrepreneurial experience in various industries, to include family focus, education/training and personal empowerment. She went from driving Uber, working as a government contractor and then onto more sustaining employment at a Fortune 400 company.

Her original speaker platform transformed from supporting marrieds to sustaining and restoring women negatively impacted by marital trauma. Her message foundation is based on a resilient and mettle-tested, raw faith in the face of societal challenge. That is where TUFF Mama Time was birthed and continues today on social media and with live workshops.

When not relishing time with her “babies” and their little ones, Valerie can be found reading or penning more books, continuing fun athletic pursuits, while coaching and engineering programs for women (Mamas) in similar crisis situations.
