Although Valeria was still in school, she managed to launch her career as well as graduate from high school. She studied therapy for the disabled, and loves working with people. Valeria has a natural yearning to help those less fortunate, and did everything she could in her spare time to help others.

However, Valeria made a bold career move and moved to New York in order to further her modeling career. Since the move, she has landed countless jobs doing runways, magazine covers and advertisements. She still was able to continue giving back to those in need. She uses her newfound fame to good use working with the Special Olympics.

Her first advertising campaign was for the Caro Cuore, Ragazza line in 1992. She appeared on the cover of Cosmopolitan in September of 1992, her first magazine cover. Her work for Guess? in 1995 was her first international advertising campaign. She was photographed in Hawaii by Dewey Nicks, in which she appears with model Ingrid Seynhaeve. Valeria's next campaign is set in typical Los Angeles style: laid-back and elegant. She appears hanging out with fellow models Alex Lundqvist and Laetitia Casta.
