“My recent community-based co-design projects as an externally funded public health researcher have been incalculably improved by the collaboration and facilitation skills Valerie has contributed to our system navigation learning community and resource hub development efforts. Her expertise is so valuable that we have appointed her as community affiliate faculty with the University of Kentucky College of Public Health, reflecting her capacity to not only flawlessly execute but also conceptualize and evaluate community engagement initiatives. Valerie brings singular creativity, joy, process orientation, leadership, and vision to any team that is fortunate enough to collaborate with her as a writer, facilitator, educator, and advocate.”
