Valerie has been jingling all the way at Hallmark for 12 merry years and is currently the Studio Editorial Director for Hallmark’s Premium and Humor greeting card lines—which means her job can literally be a joke (in the best possible way). She’s also a writer for the local parenting resource Kansas City Mom Collective. When she isn’t dragging her family around town to create *yet another* holiday tradition, you can find Valerie blasting show tunes, scouting her next cozy read, or somewhere near cheese.
