Victoria Haber
Victoria Haber is relied on by Lewis-Burke clients to advise on issues pertaining to tech-based and regional economic development, agricultural research, forestry, and environmental conservation. Victoria leverages her knowledge of relevant agencies like the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Economic Development Administration (EDA), and the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) to advance legislative priorities and agency engagement. Victoria is committed to helping clients identify unique funding streams beyond their existing funding portfolio. Victoria’s previous coursework and experience working on Capitol Hill has shaped her knowledge of the federal government as well as her economic and agricultural portfolio.
Issue Areas: Agriculture, specifically research, rural development, and the forest service; economic development; broadband and advanced wireless; and environment.
Additional Experience: Victoria’s love for DC’s energy began even before she joined the Lewis-Burke team, as an intern with a member of the Ohio delegation in the U.S. House of Representatives. Throughout her internship, she developed a knowledge of economic development and agricultural policy as well as a commitment to advocating for these issues. Prior to that, Victoria supported the Ohio Recreation and Parks Department with budget management and engaging with community stakeholders.
Vital Statistics: Victoria was born and raised in Ohio and completed her undergraduate degree at Ohio State University, where she studied economics and public affairs and graduated magna cum laude. In her free time, she enjoys exploring the Smithsonian museums and DC memorials, traveling to new places, and cheering on Cleveland sports teams (even when there is little to cheer for).
