THE LATEST & GREATEST




Welcome all!!! A lil' bit about me:

My name is VICTORIA .  I  graduated *magna cum laude* from USC with a B.S. in Music Industry & a double minor in communications & business in May 2006. So many aspects and areas of the entertainment industry excite and interest me.I'm also a songwriter & an actress. I'm always taking acting classes at any given time to keep getting stronger as an actress. I'll be focusing a LOT on acting in 2009, and will have my reel online shortly.

I LOVE art and the power it has to move people, to make them feel emotions and see things in a certain way. I wouldn't be doing any of this if I didn't have a HUGE passion for it.   I'm EXTREMELY intense, energetic, outgoing, goofy & love to shoot. Please keep in mind I'm VERY petite, and I'm also curvy, so high-fashion is definitely out of my realm. Let's explore other options together!!!

Upon speaking with me on the phone for the first time you're likely to ask me one of the following questions:
--Are you wired?
--Have you had a lot of coffee today?
--Do you have ADD?
--You're not on speed are you?
The answer to all of these questions is NO. I'm just really energetic 90% of the time and always have been. Except when I'm hungry. Then I turn into a werewolf.

Oh...and did I mention I'm GOOFY?
