MEET VICTORIA

I know what it’s like to be underestimated.

I grew up on welfare, became a teenage mother, and entered technology as an administrative assistant and backup receptionist. Eventually, I built a career in technology sales and closed the largest deal in my department’s history.

Today, I bring those experiences together with career strategy and AI education to help people recognize their options—and take action on them.
