Valentina is a senior at Hampton Bays High School and this is her first year on The Tide staff. When she’s not running or managing the varsity football and wrestling teams, she can be found exploring, painting, or listening to Brent Faiyaz. Being team manager is something she’s passionate about as it’s another way for her to be involved in athletics and help the players be their best. Valentina wants to go into physical therapy in the future, having already participated in the BOCES program her junior year. She would also love to travel the world, especially Israel, Italy, and Greece.
