Victoria Reyes, MA
Curricula Advisory Council, Board Member
Victoria Reyes is originally from Colombia, though she has lived in Austin since 2005 and currently works as a high school humanities and world language teacher at the Austin Waldorf School, where she also serves as department head and class advisor for the class of 2019. In addition to her inclination toward academic study, she is passionate about working with young people and strives to help them build strong foundations and capacities that will serve them through their development and into the future. Victoria’s activism and passion for social justice have driven her to develop history and social studies curricula that help students discover truths for themselves by examining evidence from various perspectives and including non-conventional sources.
Victoria has been inspired for years by Unhushed's work. She has seen firsthand the importance of empowering young people, through education, to respect others and make informed decisions. Victoria believes the Unhushed programs support both individuals and groups in our community by making sex education about us as human beings and placing it in an age-appropriate social health curricular context. Victoria has a BA in Anthropology and an MA in Latin American History/Anthropology from the University of Texas, as well as teaching certificates from Rudolf Steiner College in California and the Spatial Dynamics Institute in New York.
