VICTORIA PAIGE HOSHALL-HAKIMIAN
Senior VP Community Advancement & Development
The growth and success of Hakimian Holdings has been rooted in the deep and meaningful connections nurtured early on within the Jacksonville community. Although a passionate community advocate over the years, Hakimian Holdings became positioned to formally dedicate resources towards targeted efforts within the North Florida corridor. In 2012, Paige spearheaded and developed the Community Advancement and Development division of Hakimian Holdings. The mission is to serve communities on two fronts: 1) through innovative cultivation of the diverse resources of the Hakimian Holdings tenant base to bridge acute needs such as those experienced during the pandemic and other natural disasters and 2) to target chronic needs within the community, such as education in under-resourced neighborhoods.
Paige developed and facilitated programming to ameliorate cultural capital gaps in first generation low income college students in Jacksonville as well as at Dartmouth College. Paige holds a Bachelor’s in Criminology from the University of South Florida, a Master’s in Psychology from Harvard University and is currently a candidate for a PhD in Psychology from Regent University. Paige has successfully completed intensive professional training and is a National Board Certified Health and Wellbeing Coach through Wellcoaches, accredited by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and the American College of Sports Medicine. She serves as an elected Vestry representative for the St. John’s Episcopal Cathedral and on the Board of Trustees for the Episcopal Schools of Jacksonvillle. Most proudly, Paige and Ben have been married over three decades, share six children together and three grandchildren.
