She was directly selected by Wake Forest University as a core member of the Student Compact Committee to help design student life during the Covid-19 Pandemic. She also is   the student Co-chair of the Student Technology Accessibility Committee (STAC) where she led the connection between Wake Forest’s Information Systems (IS) and Wake’s student body for software testing and feedback of Wake Forest website updates, as well as testing of laptop models on the Wakeware market.

She feels that “through guided research, lectures and hands-on practical labs, Wake Engineering taught me how to be resilient, hardworking, curious and to challenge myself beyond my limits.” After graduation, Victoria will work as a Software Engineer at BNP Paribas Prime Finance and Solutions under their Analyst and Associate Training Program (AATP).
