Victoria Scanlan Stefanakos

Victoria graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a bachelor’s degree in English Writing. After years of outdoor and local newspaper adventures out west, she earned her master’s degree in Magazine Journalism from Columbia University. She has worked as a national affairs correspondent for Newsweek, a senior editor at Working Mother, and is a longtime contributor to national media outlets. For the past several years, she has specialized in strategic marketing and thought leadership for start-ups and Fortune 100 companies.

These days, Victoria lives with the younger of her two sons, an alpine racer at Carrabassett Valley Academy, in a charming but drafty log cabin in Wyman. She loves cooking (and eating) with friends and family, making and fixing things, and going places—especially outdoors.
