Before entering the legal profession, Victoria worked in mental health research at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs’ VA Medical Center in Providence, Rhode Island, coordinating and managing trials at the RR&D Center for Neurorestoration and Neurotechnology. She has experience working with clinicians and investigators to advance healthcare treatments, while ensuring clinical protocols and local guidelines are followed.
