Currently, Victoria is a PhD student at the University of Maryland College of Education, studying Higher Education. Her research interests include anti-racist pedagogy, critical consciousness building, and experiences of Black students in predominately white institutions.
The aim of her work is to conduct critical research with which to challenge myths regarding the historical and present-day distributions of power, investigate the role of racism and anti-racism in social, professional, and educational spaces, and empower people to analyze their own social identities and positions within systems of power. By incorporating identity exploration, anti-racism, active allyship, and critical consciousnesses building into the fabric of our institutions and practices, she believes we can generate affirmative spaces and institutions where all stakeholders and community members can thrive.
Professionally, Victoria offers a variety of trainings, facilitations, and keynotes related to race, racism, implicit bias, microaggressions, social identity, discrimination, student affairs, fraternity & sorority life, and allyship.
