Meet Victoria
Mrs. New York American 2024

Victoria Wejko is a community leader, advocate, and proud first-generation Italian American dedicated to empowering others through hope, healing, and resilience. Raised in a household impacted by addiction, domestic violence, and poverty, Victoria faced profound challenges in her early life. At just 10 years old, she endured the devastating loss of her mother to an unsolved murder and the tragic death of her brother to gun violence when he was only 16.
Despite these hardships, Victoria’s unwavering faith and determination propelled her forward. She holds dual master’s degrees in Public Administration and Pastoral Studies, blending her expertise in organizational leadership and spiritual care. As the president of the Junior League of Syracuse and a leader in the Diocese of Buffalo and Rochester, Victoria champions causes that uplift women, families, and survivors of childhood trauma.
Through her platform, You Are Not Alone, Victoria provides resources and fosters a supportive community for trauma survivors, advocating for mentors and resources to help children thrive. Her advocacy is rooted in her own journey of transforming pain into purpose, offering a powerful message of resilience and hope.
In addition to her professional and advocacy work, Victoria is a stepmom, cat mom, and Charity MC who loves supporting causes close to her home in Cayuga County. She is committed to using her role as Mrs. New York American to inspire others to heal, find happiness, and embrace their fullest potential.
Fun Fact: She is part of the WWE Universe! She found WWE by watching SummerSlam 1994 at a sleepover, and fell in love with the storytelling that only happens in WWE where giants and superstars meet in epic battles. The WWE universe gave her a safe place to escape to but it also allowed her a place to believe she could be whatever she wanted to be.
