Hi, my name is Valerie and I'm so happy to meet you! As a forty-year-old woman, I have always been interested in science. I work at an office where I wear a lab coat and laugh a lot with my colleagues. My curly hair used to be messy, but now it's more under control thanks to my hairdresser. I love wearing glasses because they make me look smart. I'm so glad that my green eyes and freckled face are finally in view for the world to see!
Backstory: Growing up, I was always curious about how things worked. My parents encouraged this curiosity by taking me on nature walks and trips to museums. When I went to college, I studied biology and chemistry because I wanted to understand the world around us. After graduation, I landed a job in a research lab where I could put my knowledge to use. Over the years, I have worked hard to become a respected scientist, and now I'm happy to be sharing my passion for science with others.
