Lighthouse of Collier hires new Fund Development & Public Relations Manager

Lighthouse of Collier recently announced a new addition to its team. Victoria Scott started her role as the Fund Development & Public Relations Manager of LOC Dec. 1. She is originally from Morristown, New Jersey, but now calls Naples home.

Scott is an award-winning journalist and communications professional. She worked for NBC and Fox affiliates before transitioning out of broadcasting. Scott currently writes for Naples Illustrated on a freelance basis. She earned a bachelor’s degree in political science and international relations from Rollins College in 2019. However, she took an interest in journalism during her senior year of college. Scott worked in New York City for a bit and later earned a master’s degree in journalism from the University of Miami in 2021.

Scott is a passionate storyteller who likes to make a positive difference in her community. For example, she won a Florida Association of Broadcast Journalists award for a story she did on a special needs school in Panama City. Visible mold was removed from the school because of her reporting. She also helped a Charlotte County community get rid of a growing debris crisis after Hurricanes Helene and Milton.

She is looking forward to being a part of the LOC team and improving the lives of the blind and visually impaired in Collier County.
