Victoria has recently completed her second year at Queen’s University Faculty of Law.

Prior to law school, she earned a Master of Arts in Political Science from McMaster University and an Honours Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science and History from Western University. During law school, Victoria served as a student editor for the Queen’s Law Journal and a volunteer on the Pro Bono Students Canada Tenants’ Rights and Evictions Project. She recently completed her term as a Student Caseworker with the Queen’s Prison Law Clinic, advocating for federally incarcerated individuals on disciplinary and parole matters.

Victoria is an active member of the Queen’s University student community. During her second year, she served as Mentorship Chair for the Queen’s Women in Law Club, where she had the opportunity to work closely with first-year students as they adapted to law school life. 

This past summer, Victoria worked as a Legal Intern for the Resource Productivity and Recovery Authority, where she contributed to a range of matters including contract review, compliance and regulatory work, corporate governance issues, and policy amendments. This experience further encouraged her interest in helping institutions manage risk, maintain compliance, and operate effectively. She looks forward to learning more through her work this summer.

In her spare time, Victoria enjoys reading, travelling, and spending time with friends and family.
