# Troop Support Spotlight: Victoria Czaia

By DLA Troop Support Public AffairsDLA Troop Support Public Affairs

                PHILADELPHIA  –              
**Name:**Victoria Czaia

**Organization:**Clothing and Textiles

**What’s your job?**I’m a customer account specialist on the Marine Corps team.

**If you could speak directly to the warfighters you support, what would you say?**There’s a lot I would tell them. I’m sorry that they’re missing the babies that are born, the family members that get sick; but the biggest thing is that their sacrifices mean so much to everyone. And I would just like to thank them for their service.

**What’s the most thrilling/adventurous thing you have ever done?**Living abroad; I lived in India for six months and China for 16 months, teaching English. While I was in China, I joined to Red Cross to support people affected by the Sichuan earthquake of 2008. And I removed some of the rubble to get to school children, because we lost so many, since it happened in the afternoon. It impacted me as a human being to see that much destruction so close up.

**What is your proudest accomplishment in life thus far?**I would say taking the oath to work here at DLA Troop Support. And, getting my Master’s degree in Justice Studies and Terrorism and Security.

**What has been the highlight of your career so far?**I think the highlight has been working with everyone here, and one of the most special moments was receiving Team Member of the Month in April 2017, presented by [former C&T Director] retired Air Force Col. Lawrence Hicks. I helped bring back orders down to the lowest level in 30 years, so it was a significant effort.

**What is the most surprising/unexpected thing others don’t know about you?**I ran for New Hampshire State Senate in 2012, and was on the ballot with former President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, so that was cool. And, I’m a published author. I wrote “Dare to Dream” in 1999 under the penname Victoria Kimble.

**What hobby would you get into if time and money weren’t an issue?**I would get into a nonprofit or a humanitarian effort because that means a lot to me, and I would go to [developing] countries.

**What is your favorite thing about working for Troop Support?** It’s everything I ever think I dreamed about; being a part of a collaborative effort to support the people in the military.
