Have you had the opportunity to meet Victoria, our newest addition to the team and the leader of all people and programs at HRC? We are so excited she is here!
Victoria has spent most of her working life in the service industry, prioritizing the needs of the people she is serving and the people she is leading, while building systems and structures to support continued growth and plan for future needs.
Born in the Azore Islands off the coast of Portugal, Victoria spent her childhood moving frequently. She spent many years doing community outreach and service alongside her parents, who worked in law enforcement and pastored a small neighborhood church. It was during these years that she discovered her love of community and heart for service.
Her late mother had one philosophy: leave people better than you found them. Victoria is intentional about weaving that into the fabric of her everyday life.
Victoria spent 19 years working her way up to a corporate leadership position. As a business leader, she built the foundations needed for continued organizational growth, always keeping sight of what mattered most: the people she served.
When the opportunity arose to bring her experience as a business leader to her passion for community care and relationship building as the Director of Operations at HRC, she knew immediately that it was the right fit.
Victoria has been married to her best friend since high school, Nick, for ten years, and together they have two children, Oliver and Charlie. Victoria loves traveling, cooking with her husband, and spending time with her friends and family in Lawrence.
Next time you’re at HRC or LINK, be sure to say hi and welcome her to the team!
