Meet Victoria

Inspired by her own childhood education—which largely took place in rural environments outside formal classrooms—Victoria has pursued educational approaches that honor child agency, self-initiated growth, and connections to real-life experiences. After earning a B.A. in Communications and an M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction, she discovered Montessori education through her own experiences as a parent of four. After completing courses for 3-6, 6-9, and 9-12 through an AMS training center, she earned a Ph.D. in Global Family Health and Wellbeing. She currently serves in an academic role for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, overseeing a project pursuing inclusive and equitable teacher preparation pathways.
