Above all, Valeyne aims to create a brave training space where people can be inspired and equipped to break down barriers, build bridges, and create a fresh vision for tomorrow – with joy, lightness and fun!
Valeyne is currently based in the Chicagoland area with her husband and her Labrador, Kihei. As an adventurous family they love wind-surfing, sailing, sunset watching and sharks-teeth hunting on any sunny beach, any day of the week.
Valeyne is a shark tooth collector.

Valeyne loves aviation. She knows most US airport codes and can teach you how to marshall and deice an airplane safely.

Valeyne was once stung by over 100 Hornets and lived to tell about it.
