265 Millennium - A Marquis Who’s Who Magazine HOSPITALITY AND LEISURE Victoria R. Shoemaker always desired to be a business owner in which she could manifest a conducive environment for employees to better themselves and further their own careers. Likewise, she wanted to also create a welcoming atmosphere for customers, where both business employees and customers could thoroughly enjoy themselves in her business. In 2020, Ms. Shoemaker established the Lefevre Street Bakery & Café in Medical Lake, Washington. A thriving restaurant in Washington State, the bakery and café offer an array of delectable treats for all to enjoy. Earlier in her career, Ms. Shoemaker served as a supervisor at Northern Quest Resort & Casino in Spokane, Washington, from 2016 to 2020. Concurrently, she was also an assistant store manager of Tuesday Morning in Spokane between 2019 and 2020. During her vocational pursuits, she attended Spokane Falls Community College, from which she received an Associate of Science in accounting and business management in 2019. She later completed coursework at Missouri State University. To remain abreast of developments in the field, Ms. Shoemaker has maintained active affiliation with the Washington Hospitality Association. She attributes her immense success to the work ethic and personal drive that her parents instilled in her from a formative age. She notes that her parents had always taught her that she could become anything she wanted in the future, as long as she applied herself and exhibited a strong sense of responsibility and effort. Although she has achieved much throughout her career as a business owner, Ms. Shoemaker is especially proud of building herself up from scratch. A former military spouse, she steadily escalated in her career until serving as the prominent businesswoman she is recognized as today. Looking toward the future of Lefevre Street Bakery & Café, as well as her own career, Ms. Shoemaker intends to open new locations in the forthcoming future.
