Miss Florida Teen USA 2017 Victoria DiSorbo was born and raised in Pembroke Pines, Florida, where she grew up loving all watersports. This short distance to the beach and love for sport drove her to compete in the Junior Olympics for swimming. Since graduating High School, Victoria is now a certified cosmetologist and is working towards her certifications in personal training and nutrition. Victoria has also accomplished writing her first children’s book entitled, “Julie’s Adventure with Cystic Fibrosis,” in memory of her best friend who passed away from the disease. She has a passion for giving back and finds true happiness when she is volunteering. Victoria is committed to making more than 100 charitable appearances throughout her reign as Miss Florida Teen USA and is proud to be more than half way to her goal. Victoria has a huge soft spot for animals, and loves spending time her two dogs, a French Bulldog named Cargo and her Bulldog, Luigi that weighs over 70 lbs. In her free time, Victoria loves to cook authentic Italian food with her Nona. Victoria feels honored and blessed to be representing her home state of Florida in the upcoming Miss Teen USA competition.
