Since joining CCCS in 2008, Victoria has built a distinguished career rooted in data integrity, policy innovation, and systems-building. Prior to her current role, she served as the state’s Assistant State Director for CTE Accountability, Perkins Coordinator, an internal auditor and Methods of Administration (MOA) specialist, and earlier in her career taught and worked at the community college level — experience that continues to ground her work in the realities of learners and educators alike.
