Sheber has spent two years apiece at UCLA and Georgetown Law. It’s also where her horizons were expanded. While she had many options, Santa Rosa Junior College was the best one for her, at the time. “Frankly, it was a financial decision,” said Sheber, who was accepted at many four-year colleges but “didn’t feel this pressure, that I had to go to the best school immediately.” Sheber was one of just 22 students selected from the society’s nearly 200 chapters, and one of the few, it seems likely, who began their collegiate career at a junior college. Before Victoria and her younger sister Kaitlyn left for school each morning, David would say to them, “Be a good human.”Īmong those convinced that Victoria is exceeding that standard are the folks at the American Constitution Society, a national network of progressive lawyers, judges and scholars, which recently named her one of its 2022 Next Generation Leaders. Jeanne is a payroll manager, while David is an air traffic controller at Charles M. She is the daughter of Jeanne and David Sheber.
“But I can see both sides of all those issues.” “Which translates to just about everything,” said Sheber, who grew up in a conservative household and now describes herself as “the opposite of conservative. She liked the confidence it built and the intellectual range it demanded - the open-mindedness required, as she put it, to see both sides of an issue. After taking part in her first debate as a ninth grader, she was smitten. “I did sports a little bit in middle school, but it wasn't something I loved,” she recalled. More than any of her extracurriculars, Sheber explained on a recent morning, between sips of black coffee at Windsor’s Café Noto, it was debating that put her on her present path. Department of Justice or was elected editor-in-chief of the American Criminal Law Review, headquartered at the Georgetown University Law Center, where she is a third-year student, Sheber found deep fulfillment in a different role: as a debate coach for high school students on the west side of Los Angeles. One of those activities, the 25-year-old went on to explain, was “foundational” in shaping the person she’s become.īefore Sheber landed a job in the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office or clerked in the Narcotic and Dangerous Drug section of the U.S. Having been asked to list her internships and activities in college and law school, the 2015 Windsor High School graduate paused at one point to note that she would leave some out, in order to save time.
