Associate professor of economics at Whitworth University
-Virginia Thomas Vange Ocasio Hochheimer teaches economics at Whitworth University, but the roots she’s put down in Spokane over the past decade extend beyond the university’s campus. Ocasio Hochheimer spent much of her childhood in Puerto Rico. As an adult, she spent time in New York City before moving to Colorado, where she completed two degrees in economics and gained teaching experience. In Spokane, she’s joined the boards of Catholic Charities of Eastern Washington and the Inland Northwest Land Conservancy. She put down more roots here this year, establishing her independent company, Grand Fir Analytics LLC.
