It empowers her to uncover flaws rapidly, (fore)see adverse effects, and defend against threats and the dark arts—whether deeply technical or psychological. Although playing safe doesn’t allow us to flourish, Victoria is determined to help others stay ahead of the curve and reveal the seemingly impossible yet possible.
