Victoria Freire is an investigative researcher, writer, and photographer based in Washington, DC.
An alumna of the George Washington University, she holds a degree in International Affairs and History, where she completed an award-winning research thesis surrounding U.S. complicity in the 1976 military dictatorship in Argentina. Through this, Victoria analyzed hundreds of declassified government documents as part of the Argentina Declassification Project, the largest government-to-government declassification release in U.S. history.
She became involved in investigative research as a student and fossil fuel divestment organizer, uncovering her university’s extensive ties to the oil and gas industry. This work has been published alongside several organizations such as Data For Progress, Fossil Free Research, and UnKoch My Campus.
Currently, Victoria works as a research fellow at the Energy and Policy Institute, a utility watchdog organization that exposes the harms posed by fossil-fuel and monopoly utility interests.
