Victoria joined JHU in 2023 as the Associate Director for the Behavioral Health Crisis Support Team (BHCST). In this role, Victoria manages the BHCST’s operations and staff, working to ensure those in behavioral health crises receive high-quality, immediate support. She values collaborating with local emergency services to tailor crisis intervention to the unique needs and identities of communities served.

In addition to oversight of the BHCST, Victoria facilitates Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) sessions to students, faculty and staff who may need support after a critical incident. She is also a certified Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) coordinator and works closely with JHPS/JHPD leadership to provide mental health training to JHU officers.

Two things Victoria especially enjoys about her work:

• Responding to and holding space for individuals during their most difficult moments.
• Collaborating with students, faculty, and staff across a wide range of disciplines.
