Before moving to the U.K. in 2017, she covered Wall Street,  reporting for five years on U.S. stocks and the economy from New York City. When she’s not in front of the microphone, you can find Victoria baking or curling up with a good book at home, hiking in the English countryside, or travelling through her new European playground.
