Victoria is a Senior Associate at Sparkpr, a tech PR firm headquartered in San Francisco and with offices in New York, Los Angeles, London and Cape Town. Victoria heads up the Cape Town office and discovered her love of technology around 5 years ago when she joined the Sparkpr team after graduating from CPUT with a degree in Public Relations.

She is a teacher in training at Body Control Pilates South Africa and is currently juggling her love of tech PR, Pilates, surfing and running – making Cape Town the best choice for this balance.
