Victoria is a classical voice teacher, repertoire coach, lyric diction teacher, and voice researcher.

As a singer, she performed as a principal artist with Opera Australia, Hessisches Staatstheater Wiesbaden (Germany), Victorian Opera, Opera Queensland, the State Opera of South Australia, The Australian Ballet, and other companies in Australia and overseas. She appeared as a soloist with the Melbourne, Sydney, Queensland and Adelaide Symphony Orchestras, working with conductors including Vladimir Ashkenazy and Sir Andrew Davis. She performed extensively throughout Europe and Asia and recorded for ABC Classics and Chandos Records. Her awards include the German-Australian Opera Grant, an Australian Music Foundation Award, and scholarships from the Peter Moores Foundation (UK).

Victoria studied at the Royal Northern College of Music and was a young artist with Opera Queensland. She undertook further studies at the Accademia Rossiniana in Italy and studied vocology (the science and practice of voice habilitation) at the Summer Vocology Institute, run by the National Center for Voice and Speech at the University of Utah. Victoria was one of the first Australians to be awarded the PAVA-Recognised Vocologist professional designation and is among the first teachers to introduce the Melofonetica Method of Italian lyric diction in Australia.

Her PhD is a multi-methods investigation of absolute pitch in singers, drawing on quantitative and qualitative research and mixed-methods analysis to examine its assessment and its relevance to singing and vocal pedagogy.

Victoria teaches individual voice lessons and contributes to undergraduate and postgraduate teaching in voice, lyric diction, repertoire preparation and opera performance.
