I
was born in Duncan on Vancouver Island , British
Columbia but I spent most of my life in rural towns in
Alberta . I grew up as a small town country girl. Trust
me when I say, life was not an easy road traveled for my
brother and myself. Despite my country roots, I've come
back to the city seeking opportunity only a big city can
bring.
I've never been known as shy instead, more social and
outgoing. Sometimes, I am even so open and talkative
that people can spend hours chatting with me. I am very
giving and tend to always want to help people by
listening to them or giving the best advice I possibly
can. I feel if you're a good person, the sun will always
shine on you somehow. Because I am so social and helpful
this led me to a career in the beauty industry, where I
could make people beautiful and chat up a storm.
Eventually, my career took a turn to
teaching in the beauty industry. I was able to pass on
the talent I felt so passionate about. How lucky can a
girl get? I did open my own salon that was very
successful called “Ladies ‘n Lace.” We made National
headlines and, as the name suggests, we cut hair in
tasteful lingerie. Unfortunately, I lost my salon due to
health problems a year later but this never kept me
down. After managing salons and competing in several
hair shows, I had a wonderful lady see something in me
that I had never seen. This wonderful lady has been my
agent since. Being in the limelight of the beauty
industry, gave me the courage to pursue acting and
modeling. I never dreamed that this is where I would be
a few years later.
Contact
sports were always a favourite of mine and have led me
to an interest in stunt work. I have always loved “boy's
games” such as: hockey, hunting, all-terrain vehicles,
firearms, and most of all, I love to train with weights.
I may appear to be a girlie girl, but there are many
sides to Valerie. I am inspired by Shania Twain, who
kept her country heart on the way to the top. I always
wished I could be her or Catherine Zeta Jones. Actually,
many people say I look like both of those ladies. Well,
I can only wish.....
I would love to tell you about
current projects, but can't until most are released.
