About Victoria C.

I’m an environmental advocate and licensed insurance professional committed to public service, community resilience, and policy-driven change. I currently work full-time as a New York State–licensed Property & Casualty Insurance Producer at State Farm, where I support clients with personal lines coverage, policy analysis, and regulatory compliance, helping individuals and families navigate risk, protection, and financial security.I’m also a 2025–2026 National Environment Leadership Fellow with the Rachel Carson Council, where I’m developing a policy-focused project on shoreline protection and nature-based solutions in New York. Through the Civic Impact Affinity Group, I examine how community engagement and local governance can translate environmental research into durable public policy.I’ve completed my B.A. in Environmental Studies with a minor in Legal Studies at Queens College, grounding my work at the intersection of environmental health, public policy, and advocacy. My experience includes internships with New York Sea Grant, The Nature Conservancy, and the Office of NYS Senator Toby Ann Stavisky, where I contributed to research, legislative initiatives, and public-facing policy work.I plan to pursue a Master of Public Administration (MPA) in Public Administration to deepen my expertise in governance, public management, and policy implementation. I’m especially driven to advance climate and infrastructure solutions that protect vulnerable communities and strengthen urban ecosystems, particularly wetlands and coastal zones.
