Victoria grew up in a Catholic family in the middle of Florida between two major cities. With most of the area owned by local ranchers she started horseback riding at a very young age. She continued to ride in college on the school team. Additionally, she loves Foxhunting and is an active member of South Creek Foxhounds. Victoria's love for science kicked off in college where she completed research at her university's pharmacy school on G-protein coupling receptors in hepatic tissues. After graduating college early she became an EMT in her local town in Florida and started aviation school due to her love of adventure. She became a licensed pilot in 2022 right before starting at AUC College of Medicine. Her love for adventure, animals, and the outdoors drove her interest in Medicine in Motion and she looks forward to continuing her healthy life balance throughout the rest of medical school!
