Born into a family of writers, artists, and educators, Victoria created a whole new artistic category in the speaking profession with her “Theatrical Keynotes.”
After completing a distinguished record at Stanford University, Victoria went to train and work professionally in the fields of acting, comedy, writing, and film production. Included in this experience was the rare distinction of being mentored by the legendary Marcel Marceau.
Known for her unique style of blending the spoken word with physical expressiveness and comedy, Victoria has earned awards for her writing and performance work, as well as acclaim from critics across the country ranging from the New York Times to the San Francisco Chronicle.
Her professional appearances such as HBO’s Sex & The City; film documentaries directed by Academy Award nominees; over 27 television commercials; off-Broadway shows; NBC News; Fox News; ABC/Good Morning America’s stage in Times Square; and performances of her original one-woman shows at scores of high profile theaters, comedy clubs and corporate venues have provided the toughest test of her talent. Through it all, Victoria has uncovered a rare ability to connect with every audience and to open minds and hearts to her message.
Her interactive, high-content breakout sessions that follow have people laughing, learning, and re-engaging with their team mates and their work in an entirely new way. Participants leave with invaluable new insights, practical and applicable communication tools, and an unforgettable, laughter-rich experience.
Victoria’s skill for bringing art, experience, and creativity into the corporate messaging process developed through years of experience — as a writing-performing artist, a corporate television spokesperson, an associate producer of comedic-theatrical educational and training videos, and a senior leader of experiential education courses (ropes courses and backpacking expeditions) for special ed groups and company retreats.
You can bet that corporations like Starbucks, Administaff, 24 Hour Fitness, JetBlue University, PNC Bank, Christus Health, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Interstate Hotels & Resorts Company, Bosley, Chick-fil-A, and the NYPD do not assemble their people for major corporate events just to be entertained. They chose Victoria knowing she would make a sustainable difference in the passion and performance of their people.
