Victoria Turner is a dedicated educator with deep roots in Saint Louis, Missouri. Raised in the city, she graduated from The Charles Sumner High School before continuing her academic journey at Harris-Stowe State University, where she completed her undergraduate degree. Victoria's passion for giving back to her roots led her to pursue the opportunity granted in the Saint Louis Public Schools, where she has served since 2008. She is currently a doctoral candidate at Maryville University.

With experience as an instructional coach, Victoria brings a wealth of knowledge and a commitment to supporting educators and students alike. Her strong faith shapes her belief that every child is born with the ability to learn and understand, and she is a steadfast advocate for equal access to public education for all children, regardless of their background.

Victoria's favorite quote, from Carl Bard, encapsulates her approach to life and education: "Although no one can go back and make a brand-new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand-new ending." She brings this philosophy to her work and personal life, always striving to create a positive impact.

Outside of her professional pursuits, Victoria is devoted to her family. She is the wife of Clifford, mother of five, and grandmother to four beautiful grandchildren. Her family is her greatest joy and source of inspiration. She considers the earth her canvass as she enjoys exploring and creating landscapes when time permits. Through her work and personal life, Victoria continues to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those around her.
