About Us

Hi! If you’re new here, I’m Victoria. I’m 29 years old and I’m a full time single mom of a 4 year old with Down Syndrome named Rowen. I spend my time 50/50 in Harrisburg and Philadelphia. I graduated in May 2022 with my BA in Psychology from Rowan University in 2022. I began working on a masters in Applied Behavior Analysis in Fall 2022 at Penn State. After deciding I wanted to focus on macro social work, I took a break from school and planned to come back to it later. I’ve been a student since I was 4 years old! My passions are science/research, advocacy , Psychology, art/design and music. When I’m not studying or taking care of Rowen’s needs, I spend a lot of time self educating on anything and everything. I created “Our Designer Genes” to advocate about Down Syndrome, Mental Health, Child Development, being a single mom and everything in between. Our life is pretty chaotic and unconventional. I hope you find something relatable or learn something new!
