Valentina has always been passionately pro-life. As a teenager, she dreamed of fighting abortion but did not know where to start. She felt a stirring in her spirit to take some kind of action against abortion, knowing that thousands of preborn children were being butchered every day. Opening her first Instagram account in 2022 brought about connections with other pro-life individuals and organizations that helped her quickly become educated on the topic and connected to activism opportunities around the country - particularly with Survivors.
In May of 2022, Valentina had her first taste of activist involvement in DC. She brought her trusty DSLR camera and snapped photos of the action taking place around the historical Dobbs leak, in front of the Supreme Court. From then on she was hooked on capturing the passionate moments of pro-lifers through the lens of her camera. Valentina’s beautiful photos have been of immeasurable worth to Survivors in artfully communicating our mission to the public through photos posted on social media.
Valentina is just 21 years old and lives with her husband Matthew in Kentucky. She is the caregiver and guardian for her younger brother Joey who is 19 and has Down’s Syndrome, autism and is non-verbal. She loves having him around and describes him as “an absolute sweetheart.”
Valentina continues to refine her photography skills and is also creating pro-life graphic novels in her free time. She intends to master videography and drone photography to further spread the pro-life message via social media.
