Since working at RAND, Valerie managed over $45 million in exterior repair, restoration and capital improvement work. One of Valerie’s passions lies in historic preservation projects. Her work at 153 Lincoln Place, a 10-unit condominium with severe leakage issues that was built in 1887 in Park Slope Historic District, won the 2017 Park Slope Civil Council’s Evelyn and Everett Ortner Preservation Award for excellence in exterior restoration.
