A native of the Bay Area, Victoria trained at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music before receiving a scholarship to the Peabody Conservatory of the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, where she graduated with her degree in harp under Jeanne Chalifoux. After performing with vocalists and orchestras in Washington, D.C., Victoria was recruited by Princess Cruises to play aboard the “Love Boat,” and eventually became a featured entertainer with her own show. Accompanied by the ship’s orchestra, she performed pop, swing, jazz, and classical styles on the harp.
Victoria loves teaching children and adults (particularly beginners) and everyone is welcome to come for a "try the harps," session.
