Victoria Landa

Victoria is in her first year of the MAIA program, specializing in Diplomacy and pursuing a certificate in Latin American studies. Her undergraduate focus was on International Affairs with a European concentration, complemented with a minor in Spanish and a minor in Public Administration and Public Service. She is excited to step into a new role as editor and member of the conference team at the Pardee Atlas.

Her academic interests, focusing on regional studies, diplomacy and statecraft, and languages, reflect her ambitions of working as a Foreign Service Officer in the U.S. Department of State. Her recent work experience includes working as the intern for the Press and Communications Attaché for the Consulate of France in Atlanta, where she had the opportunity to gain insight into how diplomats work to strengthen ties with the local community and support the French diaspora living in the Southeast. In her free time, Victoria can be found playing the classical piano, going to the gym, and spending time with friends and family.
