About Norma
"If Oprah Winfrey and Bob Vila had a kid, their offspring would be Norma Vally."

A seasoned veteran of television home-improvement and widely known as the Toolbelt Diva, Norma Vally started swinging a hammer well before any cameras were rolling. For over a decade, she honed all aspects of her hands-on approach to home repair and renovation in her family's Brooklyn based home-improvement business.
This former model and personal trainer is hardly what one would envision when calling for a handyman. Considering the nature of construction work, her presence is quite impressive, even inspiring. For Norma, however, she's just doing what she loves. Now, Norma's media career boasts four seasons as host of Discovery Home Channel's Emmy nominated series Toolbelt Diva, a radio show on Sirius Satellite by the same name, published author, columnist, and sought after speaker.
This Renaissance woman has appeared on a multitude of talk shows and national news programs including The Today Show, NBC Nightly News, CNN and MSNBC. Norma has also appeared in a variety of publications including Family Circle, Women's Health, People, Woman's Day, Glamour, The L.A. Times, USA Today and The New York Times, and is a contributor to various website outlets. Norma founded Chix Can Fix, a website and product line devoted to empowering women through fixing. A native Brooklynite, Norma now splits her time between coasts, travels regularly and preaches her motto, Go Fix, YOURSELF! internationally.
