Bio:
“I was born and raised in Brockville and have loved the city for its spirited community as well as its historic landmarks.
I graduated from Carleton University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications and Media Studies. During my studies, I was selected as an ambassador for the Faculty of Public Affairs, which allowed me to co-ordinate and lead event planning.
It was there that my passion for Event Works and community involvement was ignited.
When I moved back to the area, I entered the professional world where I was fortunate enough to coordinate events, network amongst the community, and meet some wonderful people. This allowed my growth as an entrepreneur.
I am delighted to become a member of the Brockville and District Chamber of Commerce team; it will be a wonderful opportunity to work alongside some amazing people!
My passions include golfing, walking along the waterfront, fostering rescue cats, building Lego sets, camping with family, and being an aunt to my sweet nephew.
I believe that the possibilities in life are endless.
Even if you shoot for the moon and miss, you’ll land among the stars!” ~ Victoria
