Victoria Minnich is a Ph.D. candidate at the Donald Bren School of Environmental Science and Management.

Her research lies in the domain of environmental media, in which she asks a fundamental question: “How can the process of science and environmental decision-making become more accessible to society?” Minnich uses nontraditional storytelling topics, techniques, and mediums to make the stories of science more understandable and reachable for wider audiences.

Minnich holds a bachelor’s degree in biology (ecology and evolution) from the College of Creative Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara.
