Her Interview
Ten minutes with Victoria
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to my own tenacity. My decision to go to law school came late in my undergraduate career, and I wanted to make up for my less-than-stellar GPA by having a great LSAT. My first LSAT score was one that most people would get and decide to do just about anything else with their post-grad life. Well, I buckled down, took it two more times and increased my score so significantly that I received a merit-based scholarship at my alma mater (Go Bears!). I almost like being told no, it just makes me work that much harder.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best advice I have ever received comes from my parents: Don’t do the best, do your best. Figure out how you can be your best self, via preparation, diligence, and discipline, and you will always feel proud of what you have accomplished.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
I would advise young women entering the legal profession to build a strong network of mentors. The journey to being a licensed attorney takes years of dedication and sacrifice, and having a group of people who support you along each step (undergrad, LSAT, law school, the Bar exam, and then learning how to practice law) makes a huge difference. In turn, consider being one of those mentors to women coming behind you to pay it forward.
04What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
I believe that building relationships with family, friends, colleagues, clients, and everyone in between is best done with integrity. I would like to leave a legacy of respect and authenticity and inspire others to do the same.
