Valery is the kind of person who leaves a mark wherever she goes. Graduating a year early and serving as this year’s Berea High valedictorian are incredible accomplishments — but even those only scratch the surface of who she is.
She carries a fierceness for love, justice, and understanding into everything she does. Her whimsy and creativity can be seen and felt through her words, her art, and the way she moves through the world. While we could create a mile-long list of awards and accolades, the truth is that WHO she is will always matter more. Her achievements reflect her determination, intelligence, and drive — but her heart is what makes her truly unforgettable.
We are so proud of her and cannot wait to see the impact she will continue to make. Help us celebrate and support her next chapter to Converse this fall by clicking the link in our bio. 💛
