Valene MC, Producer at KRCL's RadioACTive, who joined the team in February 2023.

Valene is of the Tlingit - Eagle Moiety, Unungan + Athabascan Nations. She believes we all have a place to be received + seen. Elevating and providing a platform for stories and connections to be shared is her touchstone. In college, she studied Physical Sciences, Radio, Photography + Film.

She’s allergic to small talk and is obsessed with Indian cuisine. The music of 90's RB, 90's grunge, classic rock and Hip-Hop and country rule her heart, I know....pretty all music.

Valene's passion for art, humanity and connection which brought her to KRCL as Production Assistant to Radioactive. Valene also began co-hosting Living the Circle of Life in April 2022 featuring Indigenous artists, music + news.
