At UCLA CTS, Victoria works as an Undergraduate Mentor providing Near-Peer Mentorship at Augustus Hawkins High School under the Computational Thinking Equity Project (CTEP). Victoria is a first-year chemical engineering student at UCLA’s Samueli School of Engineering. Prior to working at CTS, she led various activities in her high school such as Step Team, Women’s Empowerment club. She continues to seek similar valuable experiences as a Pre-Collegiate Initiatives intern with UCLA’s NSBE chapter, a mentor to black girls in Compton, CA with CRWND, Inc. Mentoring Organization, and a Project Manager with AIChE at UCLA’s LEAP Project. Originally from New York, Victoria hopes to fully embrace the Los Angeles community both in and outside of UCLA while sharing her love of STEM with others from underrepresented backgrounds. Victoria has future goals of using engineering to transform the future of haircare for other black women like herself, but also hopes that through mentorship, she can help transform STEM.
