Senior Spotlight
Victoria is a double major in Dance and Education with a minor in Arts Administration.

Immediately after graduation, she hopes to work for The Walt Disney Company on the Disney Cruise Line. Her long-term goal is to become a dance educator and owner of her own dance studio.

Her most memorable experiences in dance at Pacific include: cast to perform and work with PDX guest artist, Carlyn Hudson, representing Pacific University as a dance ambassador at the American College Dance Association in Modesto, California ACD and enjoying the opportunities to participate in the diverse classes and lastly receiving the opportunity choreograph and present multiple works in the dance concerts and informal shows This is where she discovered her passion for choreographing and production.

If Victoria could have a superpower, it would be Telekinesis.
