About
Victoria is from the Pacific Northwest, but currently resides in Washington DC, where she enjoys sunny skies, riding the Metro, and supporting the music ministry at her church. She currently provides tech support for electronic resources at the American University Library and is figuring out what flavor of librarian she aspires to be.
Highlights of her life include: Jesus, taking walks with Joe, helping people, good non-fiction, piano works by the Impressionists and Les Six, savoring food, trying new recipes, contemporary folk, and exploring the city.
She thinks the world would be a better place without the following: processed foods, social injustice, the culture of over-consumption, corporate farming, busyness, when people give too many standing ovations, and spiders.
At some point in her life, she would like to: learn jazz piano, go hang-gliding, contribute to bridging the digital divide, be fluent in Cantonese and Mandarin Chinese, and be smart enough to understand web programming languages instead of wanting to bang her head against the wall. 
Lyricalisse is a made-up word she came up with when trying to translate the last two characters of her Chinese name, which literally mean “poem-rhythm.”
