Charity Valente was born and raised in a small town south of Pittsburgh. She worked her way through college as both a salesperson at an independent jewelry store and as a high school cheerleading coach. Charity graduated Magna Cum Laude from California University of Pennsylvania with a BA in public relations and a minor in French.
Immediately after, she landed the position of media director for a wholesale jewelry manufacturer in downtown Pittsburgh. There, she handled the advertising, marketing, graphic design, photography and customer relations for the company. During this time, she moved to the South Hills of Pittsburgh, married her BFF she fell in love with at 18, and had two amazing kids that keep her on the go!
She then accepted the position of operations manager at another independent jewelry store where she was responsible for all aspects of daily operations, social media accounts, content creation, sales, customer satisfaction and quality control.
“There’s nothing better than a happy customer!” says Charity “I love making people precisely what they want for the best price possible. That’s my overall goal at Mock & Co.”
She loves to create new concepts and designs for jewelry, and prides herself on her expertise after 25 years in the industry.
In her spare time, Charity now coaches both youth cheerleading and soccer and loves to volunteer at her kids’ school. She has a passion for Pittsburgh sports teams, cooking, reading, travel, theater, gaming and has been to hundreds of Phish – concerts! She is a creative, people-person with a happy, genuine spirit and is a great asset to the Mock & Co. team.
