Ten minutes with Victoria
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to staying motivated and truly believing that my work creates real impact. Empathy and patience have been essential in how I navigate relationships and challenges. My passion for thought leadership, collaboration, and building smart campaigns keeps me grounded in purpose. Managing complex projects with clarity and intention is something I genuinely love; it gives my work direction and meaning.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
Don't assume that hard work will always speak for itself. Work hard, be dependable, and stay loyal, but also be willing to ask for the opportunities, projects, or promotions you want. Advocate for yourself with confidence, know the value you bring, and don't let one "no" keep you from pursuing your goals.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Find mentors, build genuine relationships, and never stop learning. Some of the best opportunities come from the people who encourage you, challenge you, and help you grow. Stay curious, be open to feedback, and remember that your career is a marathon, not a sprint. Consistency, resilience, and a willingness to keep growing will set you apart.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
One of the biggest opportunities in digital marketing right now is AI. It's transforming how we create content, analyze data, and personalize customer experiences, allowing marketers to work more strategically and efficiently. At the same time, the challenge is using these tools thoughtfully while maintaining authenticity, trust, and a human-centered approach. The marketers who will stand out are those who embrace innovation without losing sight of the people they're trying to reach.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Purpose drives everything I do, both professionally and personally. Family is at the center of my life , as a mother of three boys, my greatest goal is raising kind, hardworking young men of strong character. Faith and community are equally important to me. I believe in growing holistically, and I strive to show up with that same sense of balance, intention, and heart in every area of my life.
