Television

I played Mrs. Barkley in “Dr. X & The Quest for Food Safety,” which won the 2001 Emmy Award for Outstanding Children’s Programming/One-Time Children’s Special. I reprised the role in 2002’s “Lost at the Statue of Liberty.” By far the most fun role I ever had was in “Medical Detectives: Charred Remains.” I crawled through gravel, had my body stuffed into a trunk, and was ultimately blown up in a dumpster.

  • Valerie, you are a trooper!! And, a very good actress, I might add. I am glad you still enjoyed yourself after all of the dumping, trunk-stuffing, and ground crawling.

Testimonials

  • Valerie has passion. It comes thru in everything that she does. Because of her passion and charisma we were able to have our one of a kind wedding ceremony. We are not your traditional bride and groom and wanted to stay true to ourselves. Valerie helped us do that and together we came up with a ceremony that was tailor fit to our personalities and our life together. There was nothing too mild or too bold that she wasn’t willing to try. While keeping our words tasteful and throwing in some of our favorite quirks we were able to truly express our love and commitment to each other, all while having a fun time and giving our guests a laugh or two along the way. Something they will always look back on with joy. Valerie was a huge staple in our wedding ceremony and has become a part of our life together today. Whether you are traditional or like “us”, Valerie has the passion to make your day as ordinary, extraordinary, beautiful or bold as you dream it can be.
