Victoria graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a bachelor’s degree in English Writing. After years of outdoor and local newspaper adventures out west, she earned her master’s degree in Magazine Journalism from Columbia University. She has worked as a national affairs correspondent for Newsweek, a senior editor at Working Mother, and is a longtime contributor to national media outlets. For the past several years, she has specialized in strategic marketing and thought leadership for start-ups and Fortune 100 companies.

These days, Victoria lives with the younger of her two sons, an alpine racer at Carrabassett Valley Academy, in a charming but drafty log cabin in Wyman. She loves cooking (and eating) with friends and family, making and fixing things, and going places—especially outdoors.

April has worked in advancement and communications at UMF for nearly 20 years. She currently directs media relations and event communications. Her focus is to develop and share stories with the general public that exemplify the university’s vibrant academic programs and student and faculty success. She earned her BA at the State University of New York at Oswego. She loves spending time with friends and family, including two very spoiled shelties and her rescue bunny.
