Valerie Nyhuis
Lyncourt House Advisor, Mill Spring/Tryon Graduate Program

Valerie is family and community oriented, personable and generally happy, you hardly ever see her without a big smile on her face.

She comes from a family of four, all girls, and can brag about being the oldest and shortest.  A close friend from high school and college was the prior house advisor and when she left to get married, she invited Valerie to consider joining us.

Originally from Huntington, WV, Valerie graduated from Grove City College, PA with a combined degree in biology and religion.  During college, Valerie spent one semester in Salzburg, Austria, not a bad place to study!  It also sparked a desire in her to travel more.

Valerie is a great cook and along with the graduates, helps with grocery shopping and preparing meals.  She has many other interests we all benefit from, reading, pottery, and hiking.
