Celebrating Valencia Garden’s 10-Year Pepperversary
Congratulations to Valencia Garden on 10 incredible years at Eleven Peppers!
Over the past decade, Valencia has been a quietly unstoppable force behind so much of Eleven Peppers’ success. She is a gifted communicator and writer, who earns trust from even the toughest clients. Her ability to find answers no one else can and elevate every project with professionalism and humor makes her an anchor for her teams. Whether mentoring others, advocating for inclusivity, crafting award‑winning work, or navigating chaos with grace, Valencia brings excellence to everything she touches.
To make it extra special, we used intel from the Peppers who know him best! For example, we learned that:
-
She can read between the lines that no one else even knows are there.
-
She is always rocking Pepper swag.
-
She is the queen of deciphering acronyms and government speak.
-
She has a way of telling stories that make you feel like you were there.
We also sent out a survey about Valencia, and this is some of the feedback we received:
-
“Valencia has a wonderful sense of humor and always manages to put you in a good mood. She’s a true friend, a consummate professional, and an awesome mother.”
-
“She is a very curious person and has an innate ability to track any bit of information down, no matter how obscure. She is also a connoisseur of reality shows and an expert world traveler.”
-
“Valencia planned a visit to the African American History Museum. Truly a great day and a wonderful experience to make time for something I kept saying I was going to do but finally made the time for it with Valencia’s leadership.”
-
“When you have had the pleasure of working with someone who you can truly be yourself around you miss it when you are not working together every day anymore. Valencia is one of those people.”
Valencia, you’ve spent ten years bringing calm to chaos, lifting teammates up, and strengthening our culture through your advocacy. Here’s to the next decade, may it bring new stories, adventures, and plenty of moments that remind you how deeply your presence and perspective matter here.
