Meet Victoria

I’m Victoria Rich, a Las Vegas-based food safety consultant and the founder of Victory Compliance Specialists. I started this business because I saw too many food operators struggling to understand food safety—not because they didn’t care, but because they didn’t have the education or support. As a former health inspector with the Southern Nevada Health District, I saw firsthand how confusing regulations can be, especially when language barriers and misinformation get in the way. I wanted to change that.

I spent 7.5 years with SNHD, starting on the Las Vegas Strip—my very first assignment was the MGM Grand. Over the years, I worked with restaurants, school kitchens, water stores, and commissaries, and I eventually developed a specialized inspection program for water stores, bottling plants, dietary supplement facilities, and FDA/USDA-regulated manufacturers and processors.

Alongside inspections, I worked with business licensing, code enforcement, police departments, and water reclamation to support legal compliance across the industry. I also created a water management program and collaborated with the disease team on Legionnaires’ outbreak investigations. During my time at SNHD, I responded to pool-related, solid waste, and fire emergencies—both on-call and after hours—helping ensure public safety in high-pressure environments.

These experiences gave me deep insight into HACCP planning, permitting, emergency preparedness, and cross-agency collaboration—affording me relationships and skills I now use to help my clients succeed.

I hold a Master of Public Health (MPH), a Bachelor’s degree in Microbiology, and I’m a nationally credentialed Registered Environmental Health Specialist (REHS). I’m also a Certified HACCP Manager and a ServSafe® Certified Instructor and Proctor, allowing me to teach, assess, and certify food managers and staff across Nevada.

I’ve built strong relationships with regulators across Nevada and nationally, and I currently serve as Vice President of the Nevada Environmental Health Association. I stay closely connected to my professional roots, regularly volunteering with students and staying active within the UNLV community, where I earned my degree.

My consulting services are available to a wide range of businesses and individuals, including:

• Restaurants, food trucks, and commissaries

• Senior care and assisted living facilities

• Farmers market vendors and annual itinerants

• Cottage food operators and home-based food businesses

• Craft food vendors and large special event coordinators

• Manufacturing and processing facilities, including dietary supplement companies

• Hotels, casinos, and multi-permit operations

I was raised in Las Vegas, and I still love this town. It’s a small community where reputation matters, and I take pride in the quality of service I offer. My clients know they can reach me any time—food safety never sleeps, and neither does my commitment to their success.

I’m more than a consultant—I’m a partner. Whether you need training, inspection prep, or full-scale support, I’m just a phone call or a text away.
