Valerie is from Cheney and has been working with the Disability office since 2008. She was first hired as the part time program assistant and is now the DSS Manager. She loves working with students, and watching them achieve their goals. She has two favorite times of the academic year. Fall quarter, when all the new students are on campus learning the in’s and out’s of campus life. The second favorite is Graduation Day in June, where she gets to share the experience of students reaching their educational goals. Outside of EWU, she enjoys her family and farm life!
