Ave atque vale, Valerie

Valerie and Jordan at El Encanto, Santa Barbara

It’s not often that the owners of a business toil unheralded as support troops. Yet that’s been the case at New Homes Magazine / YoChicago, where Valerie Zekas has worked as a sales assistant while her brother Jordan handles distribution for his magazine.

Today was Valerie’s last day at New Homes / YoChicago. It’s a bittersweet day for the business, but one of unalloyed joy and pride for her indirect supervisor, her dad. Valerie will be pursuing a master’s degree, with a concentration in nonprofit housing development, at Milano, The New School, in New York.
