Who We Are - Personnel Bios

Barbara Valentino started Evolving Communications, a multimedia production company, because she was inspired by the scientists and engineers she met and worked with during her tenure at the National Academy of Sciences [NAS] Television Office. 

She realized then that these ‘unsung heroes’ had compelling stories that needed to be told and shared. Barbara uses her extensive experience and background in video production and journalism to bring memorable and dynamic narratives to people's lives, careers, passions. Interviewing is her forte!
