Mila Valentine

Hello Massachusetts DECA! My name is Mila Valentine, and I’m a senior at Barnstable High School. I’ve been a dedicated DECA member since my freshman year, beginning my journey in Principles of Finance and continuing to compete in Personal Financial Literacy throughout high school. Through these events, I discovered my passion for financial education and helping others better understand how to manage money, save wisely, and plan for their futures.

DECA has played a huge role in shaping who I am today. It’s helped me build confidence, find my voice, and develop the leadership and professional skills I’ll carry into the future. I’m incredibly honored to serve as a Massachusetts DECA State Officer this year, and I’m excited to give back to the organization that has given me so much. I can’t wait to connect with members across the state and help make this year unforgettable.

Outside of DECA, I’m involved in Investment Club, Future Problem Solving, and Junior Classical League. In my free time, I love spending time at the beach, surfing, swimming, and being outdoors. If you ever need a Dunkin’ recommendation, I’ll always say mango pineapple refresher.
