Welcome to Valens
HR is not just about hiring and firing…it’s about people and resources.

Valens provides the guidance, tools, technology, and expertise necessary to help position your business for sustainable long-term growth. Here’s how we do it:
- We Listen…to what you need and want for your business.
- We Learn…everything about your business, its culture and people.
- We Understand…that you require practical, legally-compliant solutions for every situation.
- We Perform…services by the most responsive, accomplished, and personable experts.
- We Deliver Quality Results…without any complicated jargon complicated processes.

A consummate professional with a workforce-centric perspective, Tracy held leadership roles within the HR, Legal, and Labor Relations’ Departments of public and private employers in the banking, retail, distribution, transportation, logistics, higher education, real estate, emergency/governmental services, and healthcare industries.
She launched Valens to provide small and growing businesses with the resources needed to confidently navigate through the complex maze of HR and union-avoidance or CBA cost-containment.
Tracy has serviced some of the world’s most respected companies including Walt Disney World Resorts, Rite Aid Corporation, EXL Technology Solutions, Penske Truck Leasing, and Penske Logistics.
She grew up in rural central Pennsylvania working on her family’s chicken farm while also attending middle/high school and working part-time positions at a local bank and several restaurants. She went on to complete her B.A. Degree in English/Professional Writing and secure a J.D.
