Victoria Anne Salz

Victoria holds a B.A. Mathematics and a B.S. in Civil Engineering; she is currently a master's student in Environmental Engineering at the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of North Dakota (UND). Before joining the UND family, she taught math and science to middle and elementary-age students and is currently an Engineering Project Manager for The United States Air Force.
