Bio
Though born in Iowa, Victoria L. Davis grew up in Fresno, California. She received her B.A in English from California State University, Fresno and her M.F.A. in playwriting from the University of California, Davis. A desire for meaningful work has guided her career choices. A passionate advocate for the arts, she has directed several non-profit arts organizations. Her one act play, You’re Getting Warmer, and her memoir, Shards of Memory, are based on her experiences working as an arts program specialist in pediatrics at the University of California Davis Medical Center. Her deep concern about literacy issues led her to work for SMART (Start Making A Reader Today) as program manager for a five-county area and later as the director of the Writing Center at Linn-Benton Community College. Since 1998, she has made her home in Corvallis, Oregon, drawn by its natural beauty and the community’s passion for the arts and education.
