Professional background
Victoria Stokes joined MU Extension in 2009 as a senior editor of publications. When the publications department was dismantled in 2017, she was reassigned to Extension Web Services, where she had an integral role in rebuilding the MU Extension website — twice. Victoria retired in 2024 and shortly thereafter began working as a senior editor of publications again, this time for Agricultural Business and Policy.
Previously, Victoria had been the editor and webmaster for continuing education at the University of Missouri–St. Louis for five years. During part of that time, she also served as the interim manager of the CE marketing department.
Victoria has also served as a curriculum developer for UMSL’s noncredit computer-training program, the managing editor of a magazine that connected crafters and computers, and an editor of educational materials for hospital patients.
Victoria has a master’s in communication from UMSL and a bachelor's in magazine journalism from the Missouri School of Journalism here at Mizzou.
