Her thesis research involves designing informal networks for learning spaces and explores how spatial agency might promote discovery, learning, and play in the public realm. Might there be strategies in which space may enhance or support educational inquiry and interaction? How might we expand our concept of learning spaces within community constructs so that urban learning spaces might be thought of as a network of entry points to education and economic mobility for marginalized populations? As a fellow, Valerie works with university administrations, fellow students, as well as local, regional, and global partners using a system’s thinking approach to design learning experiences and spaces that empower stakeholders to engage in lateral thinking and implementation of their ideas.

As a fellow, Valerie is passionate about connecting people with diverse expertise in order to enhance communication and promote cross<span style="font-fertilization between fields. At the University of Maryland, Valerie helped launch Social Design Lab, a student design community where student teams pursue their passions through social design projects with the support of interdisciplinary peers, and connected campus resources. Valerie also works as a Design Thinking Facilitator with UMD’s Academy for Innovation and Entrepreneurship helping to facilitate design thinking and lean Launchpad modules in current undergraduate courses. Valerie plays an active role in her school community connecting students, faculty, administration, and regional partners. In Spring 2013 she launched an initiative, Design Tent where participants with diverse expertise engage in opportunities to play under the same tent providing forums to exchange mutual knowledge. Since then she has continued to design curriculum that allows participants to actively venture outside their comfort zone. As a member of her school’s curriculum committee she seeks to ensure that seeking student voice and input is a common ingredient when decisions regarding changes to their educational environment are made.size:medium;">'''Phone:&nbsp;'''(410) 790-7356</span>

As an undergraduate at Brown Valerie is a former University Innovation Fellow who graduated from Universityof Maryland, College Park for graduate school in 2015 and joined Hord &nbsp;Coplan Macht Architects in their education design studio. Valerie pursued personalized now designs learning through a liberal arts driven inquiry. During her undergraduate academic career she constructed her architectural studies major around complimentary courses in artenvironments and experiences, engineeringespecially relating to higher education, urban economicsincluding creating ways for students and university stakeholders to connect & converge in spaces on campus.&nbsp; At the University of Maryland, psychologyValerie joined the University Innovation Fellows program in the Fall of 2013 to explore ways to reach across disciplines and engage fellow university community members in cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset.&nbsp; Her work at UMCP began with pop-up classes and pop-up student gatherings to promote project based learning, environmental sciencepassion projects, social entrepreneurship and management sciencethe coming together of traditionally silo’d discipines that had been marginalized from the innovation and entrepreneurial learning opportunities sponsored at the school at that time. Valerie &nbsp; Her main goal was to spark creative thought and action by bringing people together to solve wicked problems.&nbsp; This goal soon led to founding the Maryland Design Impact Lab (mDIL) – a four year Division cross disciplinary student-focused lab where ideas could be tested and teams formed to pursue applied social impact projects through the use of a variety of techniques including Lean Start up and design thinking.&nbsp; Meanwhile the growing Academy for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at UMCP began in the fall of 2013.&nbsp; Through Valerie’s UIF training and landscape canvas analysis of the I collegiate athlete on the Brown University Women’s Lacrosse Team where &E landscape at UMCP, she learned came across the importance amazing AIE and partnered to become part of a the growing team centered attitudeof Design Thinking Facilitators whose mission was to engage all 35, drive 000 undergraduates in innovation and leadershipentrepreneurship through curriculum. As a member of &nbsp; Her work at UMCP involved bridging students and faculty and helping university stakeholders realize how their respective disciplines could contribute to and navigate within the Women’s Leadership Council innovation and Women’s Launch Pad mentorship program she participated entrepreneurship resources on campus in order to demonstrate the power of their ideas turned to action - to catalyze change in engaging student and mentor intereststhe world. Throughout her academic career&nbsp; Valerie’s work now involves ethnographic research, Valerie has also studied at Universitat Pompeu Fabrastakeholder engagement, designing, Universitat de Barcelona prototyping and Yestermorrow Design/Build Schoolhelping institutions design their plan for future spaces on campus. In years leading Valerie works from planning and visioning phases through to construction administration to bring spaces from concept to graduate school reality.&nbsp; Valerie gained professional experience is currently also helping to facilitate research as part of a core team working with a designerbroader team of architects, students, school administrators, architectural internneuroscientists, construction managerbehaviorial scientists, and building scientist. She is a CPHC (Certified Passive House Consultant)industry partners to explore the emotional, physiological, LEED AP and International Living Futures Institute memberpsychological benefits of biophilic design and how it might improve human health and well-being. She loves &nbsp; We are specifically considering how biophilic design might reduce stress and enhance creativity in the context of learning new things, coffee and environments.&nbsp; Valerie holds a B.A. in Architectural Studies from Brown University as well as a Masters in her spare time enjoys outdoor sportsArchitecture from University of Maryland, and travelingCollege Park.&nbsp;
