Valerie Tufaro serves as a Clinical Account Executive on the digital patient recruitment team at Everyday Health Group under the Pregnancy and Parenting Division of the Ziff Davis brand. She brings five years of experience in clinical trial recruitment across three companies to her current role, which she has held for about four months. Her career began in group sales in the sports and tourism industries, including positions selling tickets for the New Jersey Devils and at One World Trade Center, before transitioning to clinical research during the COVID period. Tufaro earned a degree in marketing with a minor in sports and entertainment business from Iona College, now Iona University, and has contributed to the school's mentor program for approximately seven to eight years.
