Ambassador of the Month
VICTORIA VINING
This month we are recognizing Victoria Vining, Tax Advisor/Bookkeeping Specialist at Tax Pros! Victoria joined the Ambassadors just a couple of months ago, and has been a fantastic addition to our team!
​
Here's a little more about Victoria:
Hello! My name is Victoria Vining, and I am honored to be chosen as Ambassador of the Month. As a newer member, I have truly enjoyed getting involved with our community and celebrating the beautiful place I call home. I was born and raised in Sault Ste Marie, MI, and it has been wonderful seeing what it has grown into over the years. I graduated from Sault Area High School and then attended Central Michigan University. After graduating, I moved home and am now a tax advisor and bookkeeping specialist at Tax Pros, where I have been working since 2023. It is so important to me to try to give back to the places and people that have given me so much over the years. I am so grateful for the experiences the Sault Area Chamber of Commerce Ambassador Program has given me!
