She is a Registered Nutritionist by the Allied Health Profession Council in Ghana, with a Master of Philosophy in Public Health Nutrition and a Bachelor of Science in Community Nutrition from the University for Development Studies. Her holistic approach to health and development emphasizes addressing social, economic, and environmental factors.

Before joining CorpsAfrica she also worked as an Enumerator for Catholic Relief Services (CRS) in Tamale, facilitating data collection for rural communities under the Regreening Africa Project. She also worked with the International Potato Center (CIP) as a student researcher under the AWINA project in Northern Ghana. Also, she undertook academic projects related to nutrition among children and people living with HIV/AIDS in Ghana. Victoria’s dedication to her field of work is reflected in her awards and achievements, including certificates of honor as a Nutrition advocate in preventing and controlling hidden hunger. During her service with CorpsAfrica/Ghana, Victoria worked with mostly women in her community on skills training and activities that improved women’s engagement in income-generating activities. She also worked together with her community to implement a community-led construction of household latrines to improve the overall health and sanitation situation of her community. After a successful year of community service, she joined the CorpsAfrica/Ghana office as an Intern for M&E and Volunteer Support. Victoria derives fun from peer mentoring, traveling, and cooking outside her professional endeavors. She also has a strong interest in research and community development. She believes in the power of community-driven initiatives and collective action to create a brighter and more inclusive society.
