A dynamic storyteller and content strategist, she specializes in synthesizing complex concepts into compelling narratives. As reflected in hundreds of comments and DMs, her work resonates with audiences across the internet and sparks meaningful conversations both online and offline.
Previously, Victoria created viral content that generated millions of page views and produced significant affiliate and ad revenue at BuzzFeed. She served as Culture Editor in her latest role, amplifying diverse voices and stories to increase representation in digital media.
Outside of content creation, Victoria led BuzzFeed’s New York Asian and Pacific Islander employee resource group. During her tenure, she focused on community-building, advocacy, and organizing workshops and events for API employees and allies, often collaborating with other ERGs and organizations.
Driven by curiosity, Victoria analyzes contemporary media landscapes to understand how the symbiotic relationship between creators and consumers forms digital culture. By staying on top of emerging trends, she examines how media narratives are constructed, their influence on public perception, and their effects on societal norms. Ultimately, Victoria seeks to understand the broader implications of media on our digital and real-world experiences, uncovering insights into the exchange that drives cultural innovation and engagement.
Having studied English and physics at UCLA, Victoria brings a unique blend of creative and analytical thinking to her problem-solving approach. Her English background enhances her narrative skills, while her physics education provides a methodical approach to data analysis. This dual expertise allows her to research and address challenges from multiple angles, combining innovative solutions with rigorous, data-backed insights.
When she’s not online, Victoria enjoys exploring new cultures. As of 2024, she has traveled to 20 countries. Her adventures include skydiving in Hawaii, ziplining in Mexico, and bungee jumping in Macau. She also values witnessing the role media has played in shaping political cultures, whether through conversations with locals or visits to history museums. (She recommends the War Remnants Museum in Vietnam and the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum in Cambodia.) Victoria is also a first-degree black belt in kenpo karate and pianist.
Victoria is always excited to connect with fellow writers and creators who share a passion for bringing stories to life. If you’re interested in collaborating (or just want to say hi!), feel free to reach out via DM through LinkedIn or Instagram.
