Valentine returns to her alma mater after playing at Lewis & Clark for her final four seasons. The 2024 season will be her third season on the sidelines.  Valentine was a member of the Pioneers program from 2012-15. She overcame multiple season-ending injuries to put together a career season as a junior. During the 2014 season, she led the team in solo blocks (16) and finished second in block assists (47), kills (196) and kills per set (2.65). For her career, she posted 264 kills and 98 total blocks. She still is tied for the program record for blocks assists in a single match. Valentine posted eight block assists in a five-set win over Whitworth University.     She began her coaching career before she even graduated Lewis & Clark in 2016. Over the past eight years, Valentine has worked as an assistant coach and mentor with the Oregon Juniors Volleyball Academy in Beaverton, Oregon. In 2022, Valentine helped lead teams to top-10 finishes at national tournaments at the 15 and 16 age levels. Over the past two years, she has coached the number one team in the Columbia Empire Volleyball Association Regionals at the 16 (2021) and 15 (2022) age level. Outside of coaching teams, she has also led numerous Nike camps, coached skill workshops and offered individual and group lessons.
