VALERIE RIVERA

Valerie studied at Long Island University, receiving a Bachelor’s in Nursing (BSN). Her nursing career started at Stony Brook University where she worked on an acute surgical unit for about 3 years. She was there throughout the COVID pandemic and learned a lot during her time there. She then transitioned to an outpatient plastic surgery center, where she cared for patients pre-op and post-op and assumed the role of Nurse Manager. She currently works at an endoscopy center, assisting doctors during procedures. She also works as much as she can with InnoVitamin Solutions, which has been her dream role. 

Valerie is originally from NY and moved to the Richmond area the summer of 2022. She enjoys weekend trips to the vineyards, beach and traveling back to her hometown (which is her favorite). She loves exploring new places, local or far, and going to new restaurants as often as possible.
