Storytelling sparks the imagination that takes the soul on a journey into a place I call ‘Fiction Land.” An internship during her undergraduate years at KSU introduced her to video editing, and a new labor of love. “I discovered the editor of film and video has as much creative influence as a writer of novels and stories. There is power in both the visual and the written word.” Vallorie was an assistant adjunct instructor in media production at American InterContinental University, passing on to students her love for filmmaking and writing until 2019. Currently, she lives in Royston, Georgia, working on various writing projects, both script and novel.
