Valerie started her career in the arts and entertainment business when she joined Alchemy II in the early eighties. It was here that she received a quintessential education from a previous generation of Disney Imagineers and legends in the areas of robotics, sculpture, model making, figure finish, plastics, and manufacturing.

In 1988, Valerie transitioned from Alchemy II, as the head of sculpture, to Walt Disney Imagineering. Here she spent over two decades as Director of Sculpture Chief Sculptor. In this capacity she was responsible for all sculpture from concept design through budgeting, artistic execution, and manufacturing. This work encompassed Disney Theme Parks both foreign and domestic, Hotels, Ships, and flagship Stores.

Valerie is currently a signature merchandise provider for the Walt Disney company, and independent sculptor.
