About

Thirty-something-year-old left-hander who discovered my love for words after several minor detours. (Like most of the advertising community, it wasn’t a straight shot).  It took a political science degree, a year at law school, a master’s degree in liberal arts, and finally, a master’s degree in advertising to figure that out. But, hey, I got there.

Aș a fifth generation Texan who always dreamed of escaping, I somehow still find myself running around Austin with my chaotic group of misfit friends catching random concerts and drinking our way through the grungiest parts of the city. As any proper Austinite will tell you, live music runs in my veins. Specifically, some 90s/2000s, punk/pop, need-to-scream-all-of-my-feelings music. A whiskey rocks, in a sweaty crowd, bopping among fellow fans is where I feel most at home.

When I’m not perspiring profusely in the Texas heat at a live show, I occasionally write some words every now and then. Intrigued? Leave some of your own words in an email to victoriamlong2@gmail.com or, if you’d rather, just go here.
