Born in Covington, she is a Georgia native and has lived all over our beautiful state. She moved to Hinesville in 2010 with her dad, and she loved her time here. Currently, she lives in Warner Robins, but she still does lots of great work for us here by working remotely! Her family consists of her husband Quincy and their three children: Tai’yon Roman & Arya. The family also has a pet dog named Maya-Mae, who is an American bulldog & terrier mix.

Valerie’s favorite things about Liberty County
“I love the unity and growth in Liberty County. Where I come from, you have to know someone to be able to get a somewhat decent job. In Liberty County, you have a fighting chance to work where you want to work. Also, I love going to place, new or old, and being greeted like we are good friends from almost everyone. You can definitely feel the love in Liberty!”
Are there any spots within Liberty County that you enjoy visiting outside of work?
“When I was local, I loved to take my kids to Bryant Commons. I worked on a project with Home Depot to help build the playground that is out there, so it is near and dear to my heart. I also enjoyed taking my kids to try and find the tree spirits.”
