Her professional experience includes serving as director of two non-profit preservation organizations in New York City, as Kress Fellow for Historic Preservation at the Municipal Art Society of New York, and as a historic preservation policy consultant. While at Pratt Center, she designed projects that explored the preservation of culturally important places to create more equitable communities and managed community planning research. She has authored numerous research reports and briefing papers on preserving community culture in underserved neighborhoods. Recent publications include articles in Preservation, Equity and Sustainability (2022) and Preservation and Social Inclusion (2020), both from Columbia Books on Architecture and the City. Vicki has a Master of Science degree in Historic Preservation from Columbia University and a Bachelor of Art degree in Theater Arts from Drew University. Under a previous Taconic grant, Vicki and her students worked with The Jewel Street residents through personal interviews and historical social and environmental research in support of their community heritage and future. She is excited to have continuing participation in this community and project.
