Hello! My name is Valentina Gatica, but please feel free to call me Val. I’ve had the privilege of working as a bilingual service coordinator for the early intervention program at DDRC for the past five years, and it’s been an incredibly fulfilling journey. Service coordination sparked my passion for early intervention, and I truly can’t imagine working in any other field!I recently earned my master’s in Early Childhood Special Education from the University of Denver, and I’m excited to continue growing in this field. Outside of work, I love reading, baking, and taking long walks with my dog, Mocha. I’m thrilled to be joining the team.
