Video Journalist
Hailing from Toronto, after graduating from the College of Sports Media in 2020, Victoria moved west to pursue her passion for journalism.
Shortly after moving to B.C., she was hired by an Okanagan news company and began reporting news in Kelowna and Vernon.
One year later, she joined Global Okanagan as a News Anchor and Video Journalist.
When she’s not covering the news, Victoria can be found enjoying all the scenery that the Okanagan has to offer.
