Valerie Patulot is a third-year journalism student who is minoring in French. She is elated to be the Charlatan’s copy editor for this publishing year.

Valerie enjoys scoping out Ottawa’s patio scene, talking about the latest TikTok trends and badgering her family and friends for sources.

Valerie spent a fair amount of her childhood reading novels and staying inside during recess to talk to teachers, custodians and secretaries. Due to this, she realized at a young age that the world is full of interesting stories that are accessible to anyone who is curious enough to search for them.
