With my background in government affairs, my experience in business leadership, and my deep love for this community - I am ready to serve the city I proudly call home.
career
Victoria has built a diverse and accomplished career spanning real estate, government affairs, and community leadership.
After earning dual Bachelor of Science degrees in Economics and Political Science from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, she began her professional journey at the Wisconsin State Capitol, where she worked as a Legislative Aide for a Senator that served on the Joint Finance Committee—gaining firsthand experience in budgeting, policy, and public service.
Today, she is the the Vice President of Business Development at KSW Construction, leading projects that strengthen Wisconsin communities. Additionally, she serves as the Executive Director of the Apartment Association of South Central Wisconsin, a non-profit who focuses on education and legislation efforts for property owners and managers.
Additionally, Victoria holds her real estate broker’s license, working with property owners and developers to create sustainable housing and commercial opportunities across Dane County.
Victoria also dedicates time giving back to the community, she is the Associate Director of of Madison Starlings Volleyball, a non-profit volleyball club dedicated to making youth sports accessible to all kids, regardless of socio-economic status or other barriers. She also just finished up coaching her 7th season of volleyball at La Follette High School.
family
Family is at the heart of who Victoria is. Growing up on her family’s Century Farm in Oconto County, she learned early the values of hard work, passion, and dedication. When her family moved to the Oregon/Brooklyn area in first grade, she lived by those same values.
As the oldest of four siblings, Victoria naturally stepped into a leadership role from a young age. Her siblings have taught her patience, empathy, and the importance of celebrating each other’s unique paths. She loves spending time with them, sharing in their interests, and watching them grow into their own people.
Victoria also feels incredibly fortunate to have close relationships with her parents and step-parents — and to live near them all. Her dad and step-mom reside just outside of Brooklyn, while her mom and step-dad live in Fitchburg with her.
She also has her fluffy family — her dog Harley, the best companion she could ever ask for. Harley was her constant sidekick through the work-from-home days and continues to bring joy and laughter. Victoria also loves spending time with the family dogs, Oscar and Bruno, a yellow and black lab who are always up for an adventure (or a good nap).
fun
When she’s not working or volunteering, Victoria stays busy doing the things that keep her grounded, inspired, and connected to her community. A lifelong athlete and coach, volleyball has always played a big role in her life. She keeps herself active by playing in a local league weekly, and playing pick-up at the local gym.
Victoria also enjoys spending time outdoors and exploring all that Wisconsin has to offer. Whether it’s biking, spending a summer afternoon at the lake, or visiting local parks and trails around Fitchburg, she loves staying active and appreciating the beauty of her surroundings.
Victoria has also been blessed to have experienced a wide-variety of different sports in her youth. She competed in go-kart racing at Badger Kart Club for many years in her adolescence. She also started competing in Bullseye Pistol Shooting when she was 12 - a sport she has continued to participate in with her dad, and has won the Wisconsin High Woman Pistol Championship for the past 6 years in a row, both in indoor and outdoor competitions.
When it’s time to unwind, she enjoys trying new restaurants, supporting local small businesses, and spending quality time with friends, family. For Victoria, life outside of work is all about balance—staying active, giving back, and finding joy in the people and places that make Wisconsin home.
