Valerie Alexis — Advocate

Valerie is originally from Long Island, New York, and moved to Orlando, Florida in 2016. She attended UCF and graduated in 2019 with her B.S in Criminal Justice. Though she joined the FFC team in September of 2022, she has been working as an Advocate since 2019. She worked as an advocate for victims of sexual abuse and domestic violence.
