Val Hemenway’s career has spanned criminal justice, sociology, operating a daycare business, and years of managing affordable housing for seniors, people with disabilities, and low-income families. In practice, each of those roles reinforced the same skill: caring for people who depend on you to handle the details with diligence, accuracy, and trust.
Today, her responsibilities encompass compliance, human resources, administrative support, billing/purchasing, vendor relationships, front desk operations, scheduling, and daily client communications. The breadth of her responsibilities speaks to her impact. Since the beginning, Val has been a driving force behind the countless tasks and processes that keep everything running smoothly.
What stood out most to her about Bernicke was its team-oriented culture. She enjoys coming to work every day, and her colleagues would agree that working with her is just as rewarding.
Beyond the office, Val’s life is centered on family, community, and the outdoors. She is a twin, a former swim instructor and lifeguard, and an experienced wedding florist and decorator who has spent years helping others both professionally and personally.
You’re most likely to find Val traveling, camping, or golfing with her kids, family, and friends, or giving back through local food pantries, dog shelters, and community events.
