Victoria grew up traveling and living in various countries with the Foreign Service.  She recently moved to Atlanta (Buckhead) because "Georgia is bully-breed friendly, compared to other states".  Victoria says that she is passionate about animals, as well as traveling, creating art, volunteering, environmental activism and holistic health.

Victoria  has four dogs - a pit bull named "Barsky", an English Setter named "Dulce", a sheltie named "Dot" and the newest member of her canine family, "Manola".  She also has two rabbits, four cats and several turtles.  All of her pets were rescues.  Victoria plans to continue school while in Georgia, focusing on genetics, nutrition, and biomedical ethics.

Why she does this:  "Working at The Village Vets is an amazing experience because the staff and clients are true animal advocates and because the clinic works so closely with local rescue groups".
