Personal Background Highlight

Hello! I am Victoria!

I am a civil engineer with 15 years’ experience in engineering, procurement, and construction management.

I was born and raised in Nigeria but currently reside in Arkansas, USA. Becoming an engineer was my mother’s dream for me. However, through my years of study and practice, I have come to love and cherish what I do and I’m truly grateful to my mother for her wisdom, foresight, and guidance. It does feel good to be part of something important. To make a meaningful contribution to industries that are constantly metamorphosing and improving our ways of life.

Over the course of my career, I have held several mid-level and senior level positions in Quality Management System, Project Management, Construction Management, and Program Management. I am humbled to have been a part of several multi-national, multi-million-dollar projects which have helped shape my career and expanded my knowledge.
I firmly believe that engineering is more than just a studied course or job. I believe that it helps mold our personalities and grows our social prowess as it exposes us to people and ideas from all over the world. I personally love the brain-storming sessions and attention to details involved in the designing, planning, execution, and handover of projects with focus on customer satisfaction, as these are part of my core strengths.

Outside being an engineer, I am passionate about mentoring young girls to find their place and thrive in the STEM industries. I participate in empowering women and youth in under-served communities and educating children, with emphasis on the girl child.

Over the years, I have guided several youths in navigating their educational journey and careers, and I hope that I can continue to be of service.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have. I understand how awkward it might feel, but I promise I don’t bite. Just say ‘hi’, and I’ll take it from there.

I look forward to serving you whenever, wherever, however possible.

I can best help navigate the following career sectors:

I can best serve with interests related to STEM with emphasis on Engineering.

Fun Fact

Outside being an engineer, I am passionate about music, especially classical music and might be able to sing one or two pieces. I love to drive as it helps me clear my head. I love catching up with friends and spending time with family. I am still unsure if I love cooking, but I can create magic when left in the kitchen, especially with African delicacies.

I love to travel, meet new people, learn about different cultures, languages, and try out their foods. I prefer yoga to conventional workouts, and I hope to learn how to ride a bicycle.

Some images may be too large or sized inappropriately. Try resizing your Avatar picture to 500 x 500 pixels. If you don’t have a tool to resize your picture, try the free Adobe resizer tool Here.

What is Group Enrollment?

Group Enrollment allows members to enroll in specific course groups such as STEM – Cybersecurity as well as various Skilled Trades and Supply Chain groups. When these course groups become available, they will appear on the Group Enrollment page and you can enroll yourself into these groups and take the various courses. You will also receive a text message and/or email when these groups become available.

What is the GT3S Speedway Tracker?

The Tracker reflects the annual points accrued (based on your Quarter) for all four focus areas, as well as the aggregate total. It is an easy way to see where you are excelling and where you might need more work. Points reset at the beginning of each new GAN Quarter.

What is GAN Quarter

Your GAN Quarter is the Quarter of the year in which you joined, expressed as QTR1, QTR2, QTR3, and QTR4. For example, if you joined GAN in January through March, your GAN Quarter would be QTR1. If you joined GAN in April through June, your quarter would be QTR2, and so on. Your GAN Quarter also controls your annual points accrual period. For example, if you’re a QTR2 member, you accrue annual points from April of the current year to April of the next year. This allows all GAN members accrue points on an annual basis in a fair manner.

Where can I find my GAN Quarter?

You can see your designated GAN Quarter under “Edit GAN Profile” in the “My Account” section of the website.

How do I get credit for classes or other activities that aren't in my Learning Dashboard?

Go to your Learning Dashboard either from “My Account” or the “GAN Girl Hub”, then click on “Show More” under left-hand pane, then click on “External Activities”. There you can add many different types of activities that all have point values.

What are examples of the types of activities I can receive points in each of the 4 GT3S Program Pillars of the GT3S Program: Reflection, Explore, Expose, Experience?
