Victoria Burghardt is an editor for Her Campus's Tampa Chapter. Her articles cover many topics but frequently reflect her passions such as scuba diving and all things nature. She is studying Marine Science/Biology with minors in Mathematics and Psychology at the University of Tampa.
When not in class, Tori can often be found diving. She is currently finishing her Divemaster program and works for Adventure Outfitters, a dive shop in South Tampa. She is also a volunteer for the Florida Aquarium at their conservation campus in Apollo Beach, FL where she cares for coral nurseries.
Tori is passionate about all things outdoors, especially if they have to do with the water. She loves learning everything she can about marine life and their unique habits and behaviors. One of her favorite parts about diving is watching reef organisms interact with each other.
Outside of science, Tori was a competitive baton twirler in Pennsylvania, her favorite performances were twirling fire in Halloween parades back home, her absolute favorite time of year. She loves a good night in watching horror movies and other films with her friends.
