Outgoing, lifelong learner, and optimistic, Victoria has a passion for equity and recognizes that everyone is dealt a different set of cards in life and that it is our collective responsibility to provide opportunities to and lift those dealt a less favourable hand. As the Senior Manager of Philanthropy in Annual Giving, Victoria shares youth stories with our supporters ensuring that every donor understands the life-changing impact of their donation through direct mail and digital fundraising campaigns, and signature and third-party fundraising events.
Victoria has spent her entire working career in the non-profit sector, first as an early childhood educator and later as a professional fundraiser. She has always been inspired by supporting young people and families, ensuring they have the best care and learning opportunities available to them. Victoria channels her previous on-the-ground daycare experience of meeting community members’ needs into her work as a fundraiser, helping others understand, invest in, and advocate for the vital social service programs that serve BC’s most vulnerable populations.
Outside of work, Victoria enjoys attending weekly group fitness classes, exploring the outdoors, and reading a mix of fiction and non-fiction books subsequently starting multiple book clubs in her personal and professional networks. Victoria believes that sunshine and new experiences are good for the soul – thus she dreams about lounging by the pool, soaking up the sunshine, reading a great book, and sipping on a cold beverage. Ask Victoria about her all-time favourite book and how your gift is making a difference in the lives of youth in BC.
