Victoria Castro is a communications specialist with an emphasis in journalism. She completed her academic studies in the city of Quito at the Pontifical Catholic University of Ecuador.

She currently runs the communications department for Filmarte, an audiovisual production company that tells stories of the oral tradition of Ecuadorian communities.

Victoria's desire to tell stories helped her cross paths with Tilden, to co-create, “Lo que nos mueve,” the Spanish version of this podcast. Victoria's experience and knowledge of Ecuador’s social and cultural issues was key to the production of the spanish podcast.
