Victoria was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois where she has grown to love kayaking on the Chicago river, cycling around the city, and identifying local plants and birds. She is a student of herbalism and an aspiring farmer, she has acquired knowledge from farm immersions, volunteering on farms in Chicago, New Mexico, and Los Angeles, and through online courses. She is excited to bring her love of herbalism, nature, and storytelling to GRP. This will be her first summer with GRP, her first time in North Carolina, and her longest time outside of Illinois. She is beyond thankful for the opportunity to connect to the outdoors and new people at GRP.
