Marci Valner

Marci received her bachelor of arts from UCLA in political science and her master’s degree in public administration from USC. She worked in banking until her children were born. She then became a stay-at-home mom and played a very active role fundraising for her children’s schools, The Center for Early Education, Harvard Westlake, and University of Pennsylvania. Among her many roles she served as president of the parent association for The Center for Early Education as well as on the board of trustees. In addition to volunteering, after being frustrated by the limited academic options available to Gaby, Marci, along with another mother, started a school for children that focused on inclusion, communicating through typing, and self-development.
