Victoria is passionate about connecting with people and since moving to Barcelona. She has definitely found her networking groove! Bringing people together and creating new opportunities is what she is all about. Her current work takes different forms. First she is a higher education specialist in the business school arena sharing her business knowledge, understanding and skills in a variety of areas including strategic communication, HRM and diversity and inclusion. She also finds ways to connect students with the wider business community in Barcelona (and beyond!) so that they can relate classroom discussions to current and future business realities.
Victoria also works as a volunteer community worker, supporting young people who face significant challenges in life and need a helping hand whether that’s providing a listening ear or working to improve their English level. She leverages her business network in Barcelona to create opportunities for them where she can.
