Mrs. Valerie Petro has been a dedicated member of the Beacon Lighthouse, Inc. team since May 2007. She began her career with the organization as an Accounting Clerk and, through hard work and commitment, has risen to her current role as Chief Financial Officer.

Valerie is passionate about her work at Beacon Lighthouse, Inc., particularly because of the organization's mission to create meaningful employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired—a community often underrepresented in the traditional workforce.
