Hello! So happy to meet you! I'm Valerie, a Seattle transplant via NYC, where I appeared in film, television, & lots of strange experimental theater whilst teaching yoga & dance to kiddos from Brooklyn to the Bronx.

A heart-filled, physical actor, my theatrical adventures have led me all over the US, Ireland, the United Arab Emirates, and my favorite place, Bali.

Offstage, I serves as an Associate Producer for Dacha Theatre.  I love assisting in the casting process (one upon a time, I interned with Amanda Mackey), and was a casting consultant for Seattle Public Theatre/Marxiano's award-winning production of Titanish in 2022.

An advocate for healthy creative environments, I recently became certified as an Artistic Mental Health Practitioner after an inspiring series of courses with the Association of Mental Health Coordinators (they are amazing-- check them out!).
