At a young age, Valerie took care of her younger sibling while her parents were at work. At the same time, she was a childcare provider to multiple families. After high school, she went to work at a childcare facility. There, she became an Assistant Teacher, and eventually moved to a Lead Teacher position. She has an associate degree in Media, Studio, and Liberal Arts and is currently studying Integrated Media at Boise State University.
