Victoria is Chair of the New Forest National Park Authority and is a Secretary of State appointee.
She’s a wildlife conservationist who has worked on multiple projects in the UK and overseas and is a member of the Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management.
After working within the charitable sector for over 10 years, in 2018 Victoria founded Vision Wild, an organisation which supports charities and land managers to design, manage and evaluate nature conservation projects.
Victoria, from Leicestershire, grew up in the countryside and her first links with the New Forest came through her childhood New Forest pony. She’s since always held a love of the National Park for its unique landscape.
Victoria also sits as a trustee for the Osprey Leadership Foundation, a charity committed to inspiring and empowering young conservation leaders.
