Jesse L. Asks: What got you into doing charity work and what charities normally spark your interest?
Victoria: I survived a horrific car accident several years ago that left me in a wheel chair. At first, doctors were not sure if I would be able to walk again. I know what it is like for your life to suddenly change and the different emotions you experience. You go through shock, fear, depression and anger. Things seem hopeless. Its so important to let as much happiness in as possible. Your sanity depends on it. I want to reach out to others who need help. Kindness goes a long way. Love goes a long way. It can inspire you. It can heal you.
As much as I love costuming, I also have to admit that Im sick of the egos and drama. We can use our talents to give back. Thats a very powerful thing. I wanted to take the focus off of me and put the spotlight on these charities that do wonderful things for children and their families. I dont want to be too self absorbed. If I can give back, I will. With working for the Heroes Alliance, we focus on child-related charities.

Victoria: I have worked with the Philadelphia chapter of the Make-A-Wish-Foundation. If I was contacted by them to make a particular wish for a particular child come true, I would absolutely jump at the chance to grant it.
William H. Asks: Will you ever make it to the Motor City Comic-Con in Detroit?
Victoria: I currently have no plans on attending that convention. If youd like me there as a guest, the best thing you can do is write to the people running the show and recommend me as a guest. You can also message me on my Facebook Page so we can communicate about shows in your area.
Ray M. Asks: Who inspires you the most in terms of just life, fictional and non? Heaven, both if applicable and how?
Victoria: My late grandmother inspires me. She was a kind and loving woman and was always there for her family. She also loved the Lord. She inspires my relationship with my family, to put them first
and always be there for them. She inspires me when it comes to charity work and helping others.

David P. Asks: If you could be any of the characters you portrayed, who would it be?
Victoria: Wonder Woman.
Bobby T. Asks: What superhero would you love to cosplay the most?
Victoria: Id love to do Batgirl. That would be fun and different and I can relate because just like Barbra, I use to be in a wheel chair.

Victoria: Id love to be Iron Man but I dont even know where to start with something like that.
John C. Asks: Will you be going to New York Comic-Con?
Victoria: No, I do not have plans to travel there this year.
Claudio A. Asks: When you look into making a costume, what do you take into consideration? Design, characters, values?
Victoria: Its not nearly as that complex for me. I costume who I love. Thats it.
James R. Asks: Do you plan on coming back to any of the shows in Pittsburgh?
Victoria: At the present time, no. Not this year.
