Victoria believes strong boards are built on shared purpose, shared values, and a willingness to learn together. Her leadership is down-to-earth and grounded in the idea that effective governance is about creating a table where every trustee feels supported, every voice is respected, and the team can adapt, unlearn and relearn as the needs of students evolve. As Chair, she works to foster a meeting environment that is respectful, organized, and anchored in the integrity of the Board’s collective work.

Victoria and her family operate Octave 40 Ranch, a Speckle Park cattle ranch in Meadowview. Living and working rurally shapes her advocacy for equitable funding, strong community partnerships, and education solutions that honour the realities of small communities. She understands that rural schools are the heart of their communities — and strengthening them supports families, local industry, and the long-term vitality of the region.

With experience in business, continuing education, entrepreneurship, and the arts, Victoria brings a balanced, practical, and relational approach to governance. As both a trustee and a parent of two young daughters in the division, she is committed to ensuring every child — regardless of learning needs or where they live — has access to a welcoming school and meaningful opportunities to reach their full potential.

“When we stay grounded and focused on what’s best for kids, we make decisions that truly support students, families, and our rural communities. I’m grateful to return to the table and excited for the work ahead as we shape the future of Pembina Hills with clarity and purpose. To me, good leadership is staying steady and taking responsibility for the choices that shape both our division and the generations that follow.”
