As a low-income and first-generation college student, he has committed his career to successfully empowering young people to navigate college access and success. Victor has a wealth of experience in education, non-profits, and college access. Victor has worked in college admissions at both Seattle University and Oregon State University, as the Director of KIPP Through College with the KIPP charter school network in Denver, CO, and recently as a Programs Director with the Washington State Opportunity Scholarship.
