Meet Victoria
Mrs. New York American 2024 | Advocate | Leader | Speaker
Victoria Wejko is a dynamic leader, professional speaker, advocate, and community builder dedicated to creating meaningful change. As the former Mrs. New York American 2024, she continues to use her platform to amplify voices and inspire hope, healing, and resilience—especially for survivors of childhood trauma. She is the founder of You Are Not Alone, a mission-driven initiative providing resources, education, and a supportive community for individuals on their healing journey.
Victoria currently serves as the Director of Faith Formation at St. Mary’s of the Lake in Skaneateles, New York, where she helps individuals and families deepen their faith, connection, and sense of belonging. Previously, she served in both the Diocese of Rochester and the Diocese of Buffalo in leadership roles, including Director of Youth and Young Adult Formation, Associate Director of Formation, and Director of Evangelization and Communications—supporting faith development across all stages of life.
From 2023 to 2025, Victoria proudly served as President of the Junior League of Syracuse, championing women’s leadership, civic engagement, and community impact throughout Central New York. Her leadership experience spans nonprofit governance, volunteer development, and mission-driven programming. An experienced Charity MC and keynote speaker, Victoria brings heart, humor, and purpose to every stage she steps on. She has also worked behind the scenes as an event producer and choreographer for local and state productions, blending creativity, storytelling, and strategic planning to create memorable and meaningful experiences.
A proud first-generation Italian American, Victoria’s roots trace back to Calabria, Italy, where her father immigrated as a teenager. She carries her family’s legacy of resilience, perseverance, and service into every aspect of her work—from faith formation and advocacy to public service and leadership. At home, she is a devoted wife to her husband John, a loving stepmom to three, and a very patient cat mom to three spirited felines.
At the heart of everything Victoria does is a simple but powerful mission: to help create a world where every child—regardless of their past—can grow into a happy, healthy, and whole adult. If you are looking for a speaker, facilitator, emcee, or community partner who leads with authenticity and purpose, let’s connect and make an impact together.
Fun Fact: Victoria is proudly part of the WWE Universe. She discovered WWE while watching SummerSlam 1994 at a sleepover and instantly fell in love with the storytelling—where giants and superstars collide and perseverance always finds a way. WWE became both an escape and a source of inspiration, reinforcing her belief that no matter where you start, you can become who you are meant to be.
