Contact

A UNE alumna with a B.S. in Neuroscience and 11 years of laboratory experience, Victoria serves as a Research Associate for the Behavior Core. Her career spans both academic and industry settings, including significant work in chronic pain research at UNE and rapid diagnostic development and validation at Abbott Laboratories. Now back at her alma mater, her primary focus is on rodent behavioral assays and data management. Victoria is a dedicated mentor who is enthusiastic about helping young researchers find their footing in the lab. When she isn't at the bench, you can find her on a nature walk, drawing, or at home with her kitties.
