After the Harvest - Utilizing Less Than Perfect Fruit for the Greater Good

After the Harvest–with a still small full-time staff of six and thousands of volunteers–distributes rescued fruits and vegetables via our gleaning program directly to agencies feeding hungry people.

Victoria joined the team as development director in December 2019 after working briefly as a public relations and fundraising consultant.

An avid gardener with a passion for urban agriculture, Victoria worked on the East Coast for two decades as an investigative journalist before transitioning into her role as an editor in corporate marketing at Burns & McDonnell. While working closely with the company’s foundation and as a volunteer for several non-profits, she engaged deeply with the Kansas City community, leading to her work as a marketer and fundraiser for non-profits including CultivateKC, NourishKC and the SAVE Farm for veterans.

An Army brat, who grew up overseas, Victoria landed at Kansas State University where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in journalism and mass communications.

When she’s not working, Victoria is typically engaged in music and film, knee-deep in her garden or sailing at Lake Jacomo.
