Victoria was born in Lima, Peru, and moved to Canada at the end of 2022 to continue developing professionally. With a Bachelor's Degree in Sociology and a Master's Degree in Social Investment Management, her experience translates through his more than 8 years of experience working for the Peruvian Government in the design and implementation of policies. She currently lives in Castlegar and is a student in the Social Service Worker Program at Selkirk College, an area that she is passionate about because she will be able to work directly with the community in the search for its well-being and development. After volunteering at Kootenay Family Place, which was a rewarding experience, she reaffirmed her vocation and desire to support and help the community, and having experienced the challenges of being a newcomer, she understands the difficulties faced by immigrants. In that sense, she wants to participate and be an agent of change in the community, inspiring many more people to identify a social problem and work on a solution.
