Full-time mother and partner of the renowned enduro driver Homero Díaz, his life has focused on supporting his partner and his children, based on motorcycle races, bikes and any sport that can be added to him.
In 2017, Mateo, his eldest son, was diagnosed with a rare blood disease called Aplasic Anemia. Following this diagnosis, Valentina dedicated herself to accompanying parents with children who are on the way to a bone marrow transplant or with some oncological disease.

After this event, Valentina decides to study Tanatology to complement her companions and somehow help herself in the process of mourning that she and her family live.
