About Valerie M.

I have arrived” – said no one ever. At least not when it comes to being all-knowing. We are each life-long learners with something new to discover each day when we can cultivate our growth mindset 🪴 Via quality communications & creative content, my forte is empowering others as they open their minds, strengthen their confidence, build their skills, and embrace this discovery process. Whether I’m serving in an administrative role or one-on-one with individuals, I remain unwaveringly focused and goal-oriented. If you know me you know that I thrive in spaces where I can optimize technology and cultivate collaborative environments - while helping others do the same! My services include: • Technical Writing • Artificial Intelligence Writing • Large Language Model development and Generative AI • Content Development, Writing, Editing & Proofreading • SEO Writing I hold a Bachelor’s in English Literature and Linguistics from the University of California, Santa Barbara and a Master’s in Applied Linguistics from California State University, Long Beach. My journey began in the field of International Education as an ESL instructor and an Academic Advisor. Over the years I\'ve had the privilege of teaching, advising, and coaching thousands of students of all ages from around the world. International Education is full of diversity, opposing viewpoints, and sometimes, conflicting cultural backgrounds. It is an honor for educators to guide students in fostering healthy and productive dialog while also meeting their educational goals. My path has since expanded beyond the classroom and a focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion remains central to all of my endeavors. The richness of my professional experience adds human and people-centric depth to my writing, guides my work in artificial intelligence and generative AI, and aids as I create and analyze with a big picture and visionary approach. Also skilled in program development across a wide variety of environments, I combine organizational skills with business acumen and work with cross-functional teams to ensure operational success and service excellence! If anything about me resonates with you, drop me a note here on LinkedIn. I’d love to chat or meet virtually!
