Born and raised in sunny Florida, Victoria received her B.S in Communication from Southeastern University in Lakeland Florida.
Watching Kay Adamas on Goodmorning Football opened Victoria's eyes to purse the world of broadcasting.
Victoria has loved to write since grade school. Those same passions she had when she was 8-years-old carried her to be the journalist she is now. Hearing people's stories and sharing them with the public in a creative way is what Victoria enjoys doing most.
At Southeastern, she was a part of the broadcasting program and interned with the university's sports communication department where she broadcasted their sporting events, wrote post game recaps, and covered several personal athletes' stories.
Victoria's love for sports came from growing up with her three older brothers. In her free time Victoria enjoys going out with friends, working out at the gym, and keeping up with her favorite football team, the Philadelphia Eagles.
