Victoria enjoys serving as charity auctioneer across the U.S., from California and Arizona to Texas and Massachusetts (and the 10 states in between); she says it is what she was born to do. Victoria has conducted more than 580 charity auctions in last fifteen years and has raised over $45M for various non-profits. The job brings her great joy and she says, “I realize that there are groups that need me to come in and make a difference for them and the clients they serve and I am happy to do so.” With a wide variety of clients, Victoria has served as auctioneer everywhere from a convention center filled with 4,500 people to a room of 45 in a celebrity’s living room. “There are so many interesting aspects to my job but the best part is that I am getting an opportunity to teach people how to give, one ballroom at a time!
