Victoria is responsible for connecting students, volunteers, and community members to the CGC’s programs and opportunities. With over 43 different programs and more than 900 volunteers, she never has a shortage of matches to make! She joined the CGC in July 2026 and is always looking for new ways to get people excited about our world.

Victoria’s love of nature began in her home state of Iowa. She grew up gardening, helping vend at farmer’s markets, and reading books in trees. Her academic pursuits in History and Human Rights led her to justice work. Since moving to Cincinnati in 2023, Victoria has blended her passions by focusing on environmental education and community wellness. She has a Permaculture Design Certification and is an OSU Extension Master Gardener Volunteer and a CGC Greenspace Guardian. 

Victoria stewards numerous school and community gardens in Over-the-Rhine and loves teaching classes on everything from foraging to recycled art. A self-professed nerd and avid tabletop gamer, in her free time, you will most likely find her cooking, crafting, or playing with words. She loves to host community events with a focus on nature and whimsy!
