Writer of Heartfelt Stories and Imagination
Victoria's love of children's literature began in her first-grade classroom in Newburgh, NY. There, she treasured the expectant smiles, giggles, and 'aha' moments during read-aloud, author studies, and especially during trips to the library. Her passion for instilling the love of reading continued as a school principal in Connecticut. Book club luncheons, school-wide reading celebrations, and, of course, being a “mystery reader” furthered her passion for sharing books and reading with the student body. Victoria is an aspiring children’s author.
