As a kid, Val's family moved every four to six years, stopping in the shadow of major market radio stations across the country. From Chicago to Detroit, Philly to LA, Val fell in love with radio – the music and on-air personalities creating the familiar soundtrack of my new address, helping me navigate new schools, new friends, and a new life. When Val was invited to become part of Sierra Vista’s on-air family, she felt she was finally home. With the nomadic life behind her. She's lived in Cochise County longer than anywhere else and she loves it. With great hiking, amazing friends, and a deep connection to the local music scene, Sierra Vista is not only where she raised her family, but where her roots have finally been set. In a rare moment of downtime, you’ll find Val curled up with a good book and a cup of coffee, her two rescue lab-pit mixes snuggled up close by. Sharing music and radio with Sierra Vista is her passion and she enjoys every moment.
