Maile School Star Grad: Victoria Baxter

Maile School adult acting grad Victoria Baxter has been in theater and other performing arts since she was little. She always had the dream of being a working actress, but didn’t think it was a possible dream to achieve.

She is a graduate from the University of Central Florida with a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and is an elementary school teacher at a Title I school with Seminole County Public Schools.

This past school year, her 5th grade class became her biggest cheerleaders in her acting career. She would often talk to them about following their dreams and a few of her own students asked about why she wasn’t pursuing her own acting dreams.

Victoria says, “Those students “fanned the flame” of my performing passions. I signed up for the On-Camera Acting program at The Maile School, as well as attended the Casting Call Workshop with Shellita Boxie. The Maile School staff and teachers have truly become like family, still checking in on my career aspirations and cheering me on. My favorite part is that in an industry that can be so competitive, I found a group of fellow actors who encourage each other in our dreams and careers—even after our class came to a close”.

Since graduating from The Maile School Victoria booked her first international commercial for Winny Diapers in Bogota, Colombia, as well as landing her first speaking role in an independent feature film, “Home of the Brave”, as the spunky journalist, “Paige Reagan” with New Vizion Films.

Up next, she is planning on moving to Atlanta in the fall to pursue Film / TV acting full-time! Victoria says, “I’m so thankful to The Maile School for the love and support, as well as instill the courage to dive into the career I’ve wanted my whole life.”

We are happy for Victoria and wish her more success.

The Maile School offers programs for adults, teens and kids in the areas of Image & Confidence Development, On Camera Acting & Professional Modeling.
