Victoria Mitchell is an A-level student based in North Yorkshire, England, currently studying at St Aidan's and St John Fisher Associated Sixth Form. She has confirmed a place on the Environmental Geography BSc (Hons) programme at York St John University (UCAS code FF81), a Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) accredited degree. Victoria is a dual citizen of the United Kingdom and the United States, and is authorised to live and work in either country without requiring visa sponsorship. From the age of 12, Victoria voluntarily completed 11 technology workshops through TechGirlz, a CompTIA-partnered STEM initiative, covering C++, Python, JavaScript, SQL, HTML/CSS, 3D design, mobile app design, data privacy, and artificial intelligence — beginning in August 2020 during COVID lockdown. Victoria holds 10 GCSEs at grades 5–9, a Bronze Duke of Edinburgh's Award, and is working towards her Gold award. She completed a Science and Computing work experience placement at the University of York in June 2023 and a Fujitsu Cybersecurity Project through Springpod in February 2025. North Yorkshire is Victoria's home — the North York Moors, Yorkshire Wolds and Yorkshire Coast are her backyard and her future fieldwork terrain. Her DofE expeditions have already given her real field experience that directly complements the degree she's pursuing. Victoria is also an experienced stage manager, youth group junior leader, and has worked in customer-facing hospitality roles since 2022.
// initialising career sequence
I'm a Computer Science A-level student in North Yorkshire with a track record of showing up, stepping up, and getting things done. Whether I'm debugging code, managing a stage team under pressure, or navigating a busy Saturday service — I bring focus and people skills in equal measure.
My path points squarely to Environmental Geography at York St John University — and it's not arbitrary. I grew up in North Yorkshire. The North York Moors, the Yorkshire Wolds, the coast — that's not a fieldwork destination, that's home. The DofE expeditions were never just a challenge; they were ground-truthing what I already wanted to understand.
As a dual citizen of the United Kingdom and the United States, I can live and work in either country without visa sponsorship — now or after graduating. For any employer in the UK or US, that's one less box to tick and one more reason to say yes.
Three-plus years in fast-paced customer-facing roles across North Yorkshire. Handling bookings, payments, high-pressure service, and customer concerns calmly and professionally — both in person and over the phone.
Started as stage crew and progressed to Stage Manager — responsible for set design, coordinating scene changes, and directing a team under live-show pressure. Equal parts technical planning and real-time leadership.
Over 100 hours volunteering with a North Yorkshire youth group, regularly stepping into leadership roles to organise activities and events. Collaboration, patience, and reliability — consistently, week after week.
Whether you're a prospective collaborator, fellow geography or environment student, or an employer in the UK or US — the inbox is open. UK & US dual citizen: no sponsorship needed, no complications.
