Age: 56   Profession:  Works for the County of Kern in Human Services. 
Personal:  Victoria is married to Raymond — they have three kids, 13 grandchildren, and two angels. When she’s not working, Victoria enjoys going out dancing and spending time with her grandkids.

Giving back: “Ninety-percent of the majority of my work is with the migrant farmworkers. I’m able to assist them with resources and give them information that they are not aware of and having them come back to me being appreciative and thanking me.”

For fun: “I like to go out and go dancing! If that’s not possible, I spend most of my time with the grandkids, taking them skateboarding, the park, just spending time with them — we enjoy going to the beach a lot.”

In 10 years: “Retired, living by the coast. I would probably never quit work, though. I’d travel and enjoy things that I would never be able to do while I was working.”

The good life: “My definition of a good life, foremost, is having God in your life, having the faith in God, and enjoying friends and family.”

Fantasy getaway: “I have always wanted to travel outside of the country, to the Bahamas. I think it would be beautiful to get away and travel somewhere exotic, somewhere I’ve never been before.”

If the shoe fits: “One thing I can’t live without? My high heels, I’m a shoe freak! The higher the better!”
