She leads collaboration with TeamSheed’s partners at Wheelhouse, developing original content that amplifies authentic voices and pushes the boundaries of unscripted storytelling.
Victoria’s career began as an intern at MTV, where her bubbly, infectious personality landed her in the Talent and Casting department. She went on to scour the country for loud, compelling characters, contributing to CBS’s The Job, CW’s Cedric’s Barber Battle, MTV’s Virgin Territory, and MTV2’s Guy Code.
