VALLEY Magazine

“VALLEY is more than just a magazine—it’s a space to connect, create, and share stories that matter. It’s an amazing feeling to be part of a team that encourages creativity and individuality!” ? And we couldn't agree more! Meet Emily Riegler a second-year Advertising major and Sociology minor on VALLEY’s Advertising Division. She’s all about blending creativity to create content that resonates with others. "During my time in VALLEY I'm looking to grow my skills in advertising and marketing, build even more connections within the fashion and lifestyle community, create impactful content, and obtain awesome PR for our launch party!" Emily’s vision and drive are exactly what make her a standout member of the VALLEY team. Thanks, Emily, for your incredible energy and dedication!
