About Valerie Okrend:

Passionate about exploring new areas in an unconventional manner.  Never knowing what might pop up is fun!


I look at assignments as an excellent way to live a more 'locals' life while still being somewhere new!  And I know having someone responsible, such as myself, taking care of things while you're away could bring great peace of mind and pleasure to your travels.  

I have bought and sold 4 houses all as a single highly independent individual with a good sense of organization, cleanliness, respect and moral compass. And I love animals to my core!

A career claim to fame is when the University of Chicago asked me to open up a study abroad center for them in Paris!  I became comfortable in all things related to facilities management and can manage situations calling for it in multicultural settings.  Cities: Washington, DC, New York, NY, Baltimore, MD. Atlanta, GA and Nice, Paris, Warsaw, Harare and Tel Avvi.

Professionally, I work in nonprofit management running primarily medical associations.  However my true calling is writing and photography!  I speak English, French, and some Italian and Polish, hold two master's one in education the other an MBA. I am quiet, happy, respectful and trustworthy.
