Dr. Valerie Mainguy

Valerie was born in Philadelphia, grew up in NJ and became a parishioner of St. Mark when she relocated to build a home in Wesley Chapel in 2000. 

She is blessed with two daughters ( Dana & Krystal) and four grandchildren ( Gabe, Juliana, Ethan - who were all baptized at St. Mark & her youngest, Asher).   She enjoys cheering her 3 older grandchildren at their numerous weekend travel competitions in baseball, softball & lacrosse. 

As an avid “foodie”, she spends her vacations traveling to Europe in search of the ultimate bite.  She spends her off time working as an executive/life coach, marketing consultant and sometimes she can be found working hard perfecting the art of doing nothing with a nice glass of wine. 

Valerie holds a Master’s Degree in Organizational Psychology & Applied Behavioral Science, an OE Certificate from Wharton School of Business and a Doctorate Degree in Organizational Leadership & Psychology.  She is a certified Family Court Mediator and earned an HR certificate from USF. 

After 25 years of traveling internationally as a healthcare consultant, she decided it was time to stay closer to her mother ( Norma Kleer - St. Mark Reader & Columbiette ), children & grandchildren and feels incredibly blessed to have the opportunity to work with her St. Mark family to build our new church and to ensure a home for God’s L.O.V.E here at St. Mark forever.!
