Victoria Olivares
Victoria Olivares is a dedicated youth-targeted case manager with over three years of experience at The Guidance Center in Leavenworth, Kansas. With a deep passion for supporting children, her most notable achievement is the lasting impact she’s made by helping many youth reach a point where they no longer require her services. Victoria focuses on proactive interventions aimed at keeping children out of hospitals and the justice system, guiding them toward healthier and more hopeful futures. She credits her success to a supportive family and encouraging colleagues who have helped fuel her dedication.
Victoria holds a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Psychology and a Master of Science in Forensic Psychology from Liberty University. Currently, she is pursuing her Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Forensic Psychology at Walden University. Alongside her professional work, Victoria volunteers with the Local Humane Society and The Innocence Project, demonstrating her commitment to both community and justice. Outside of her career, she enjoys painting, caring for her pets, and reading historical and nonfiction books. Looking ahead, Victoria aims to transition into the legal field to help create pathways that keep children in smaller towns out of the justice system, guided by her core values of loyalty and community.
