Valerie Mailman
Office Manager
Valerie moved to Boone with her son in 2019 after having traveled and lived in many places throughout the US, including New York City. She met her fiancé and his two children here in 2023. She loves spending time together as a wild family of five at the beach, a baseball game, or Mystery Hill. Valerie is passionate about her community. In 2020, she created a local small business that collaborates with and supports other small businesses of the Blue Ridge. In 2023, she founded a local non-profit organization that advocates for the mental health and wellness of the first responders of the High Country. Valerie believes in being a part of a community that loves and supports its people, so when the opportunity presented itself at Rumple, she couldn’t think of a better place to work!

What is your Favorite Candy?
