It’s important to keep Valentino’s impeccable and international journalistic trajectory in mind. It’s proof that she herself has always practiced what she preaches: self-improvement. Her efforts have many times been recognized by a slew of industry organizations that have bestowed on her top accolades. And her talents have led to a long list of career highlights: She’s hosted shows on international networks such as E! Entertainment Television with broadcasts in the USA, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Brazil and Chile, as well as radio programs on Radio INDI 101.5 FM broadcasted in Toronto and Hamilton, Canada, and served as a correspondent of radio Caracol Internacional station “La W.”
She’s also been a collaborator on “Espejo Público,” an acclaimed news program airing nationally on the Antena 3 network in Spain, and has hosted a series of shows on Televen-Telemundo, Venevisión, RCTV. Currently, she’s the voice and face of the radio circuit of Venezuela: FM CENTER, where she also works as an associate consultant.
But the journey of prominent TV host Valentino, who in 2013 authored the autobiographical book “Valiente Corazón,” extends beyond journalism. For more than 8 years, she’s worked on humanitarian causes — specifically the creation and promotion of her nonprofit foundation “Los Buenos Somos Más,” which provides aid to disadvantaged children. And will not end there…One goal still to accomplish? “One day having my own television show, something a-la-Jimmy Fallon,” Valentino said.
