Vicky comes from a family with a proud legacy of service. Her own service, as well as her brother, father, grandfather, and others, informed her work and built a collection of lifelong skills

Vicky's path here began long before she thought about national service.

She began her career as a Peace Corps Volunteer in a health clinic during the global AIDS crisis — an experience that shaped her belief in putting people to work on problems bigger than themselves.

She went on to build a business at Dalberg, rising to Partner and Managing Director, running the Americas region and Global Health Practice, $25M P&L, and growing a 500-person team across five continents

She co-founded Forward Majority, a national political operation focused on reforming how state legislative power gets built. That work taught her how political power actually gets won — but also revealed just how deep our country’s civic divides have become.

She's bringing that same organizing instinct to something explicitly cross-partisan: building the political muscle national service has never had.

A frequent speaker and moderator on national service, political innovation, and social entrepreneurship, Vicky's perspectives and work have been featured in The Washington Examiner, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, TIME, The Washington Post, Newsweek, The Atlantic, Stanford Social Innovation Review, CNN, MSNOW, and POLITICO. She has appeared on podcasts including The Great Battlefield, The New Abnormal, and FOMO Sapiens.

Vicky holds a Bachelor of Arts from Harvard University and a Master in Law and Diplomacy from the Fletcher School at Tufts University. She was a Term Member of the Council on Foreign Relations and served on the Board of Directors of Global Health Corps and Amref Health Africa.

As a mom of school-aged kids, none of this is abstract for her. It's about the country in which her children will come of age, and whether their generation finds real pathways to purpose, connection, and opportunity.
