Valerie is a part of the natural horsemanship movement which focuses on drawing out the love of horses within her students and volunteers to teach basic horsemanship with an emphasis on learning while having fun.

Amidst the pandemic in 2021, Valerie started a Wellness & Leadership program with Deana Hsu, focusing on social-emotional learning, leadership, and horsemanship. These programs create self awareness and teach non-forceful communication to reach mutual partnership and true bonding with people in our lives like, family and teams we interact with every day. Their goal is to offer this program to at risk and foster youth along with corporate teams.
