About

Valencia Howard is an office manager at Hughes Marino, a global corporate real estate advisory firm that exclusively represents tenants and buyers, and is one of the first people you meet when arriving at our office. Valencia helps support the daily operations of the team and is committed to providing best-in-class service for Hughes Marino’s clients.

Valencia has over 10 years of experience in the banking industry, primarily in business banking and internal audits. Prior to joining Hughes Marino, Valencia worked in the fraud department for one of the largest credit unions in the state of California. Prior to that, she was an advisor relationship manager for a national bank, proving clients with the highest level of concierge service.

Valencia was raised within a U.S. Navy household, where service to others and giving your best was bred into her DNA. She is extremely passionate and meticulous to the quality of service she provides to others, thriving to always deliver prompt and professional communication to both external and internal parties.

In her spare time, Valencia enjoys outdoor activities with her two sons and her twin granddaughters. She also enjoys going to the beach, amusement parks, roller skating, trampoline parks, cruising, listening to live bands and serving at her church. Valencia was also a stand-up comedian for many years on the Los Angeles comedy circuit. Needless to say, she has a great sense of humor—it would be rare to catch her without a smile on her face!
