HI! I'm...

I'm Sònia Victoria Werner, though you can call me Vikki for short! I'm a trilingual actress, producer, writer, and entrepreneur, but I like to say I'm building a career that wholeheartedly embraces what it means to be a true multi-hyphenate. Whether I'm acting on set or in the VO booth, showrunning a new series (coming soon...), doing hair and makeup for NYFW, modeling for exciting global campaigns, creating content with brands I believe in, you can bet I bring my 100% to it all. Some friends have called me “Barbie” for all the different lives I’ve lived, and a mentor once described me as “a jack of all trades, master of most” which I've made my motto. But beyond it all, I think of myself as a multilingual, multicultural, multi-hyphenate powerhouse getting things done and uplifting those around me.

​

As a First-Generation Hispanic American, I grew up calling many different places "home". From overseas to Millburn, NJ to NYC and LA now, I've been lucky enough to experience many different countries and cultures and fostered quite the eclectic artistic spirit as a result! My parents named me Sònia Victoria Werner—Sònia, as a tribute name to my mamá; Victoria, as a name that flows in all 4 languages of our international family; and Werner, a name that aptly stems from "warrior". People started calling me Victoria and Vikki from a young age, and my friends continue to do so. However, professionally, I go by the full name because it feels more in line with who I become in the arts—a fuller sense of self, if you will.

​

Telling authentic stories is of the utmost importance to me, and I get excited about playing characters that reflect the heritages I grew up experiencing and aligning myself with. I'm known for my comedic and improvisational chops, but have also played a 1500s sheep wench in a monks period piece, a demon of anger, an unexpected villain, and tons more. I don’t see acting as "lying" or "pretending" but as truth-finding, stepping into perspectives beyond my own and bringing them to life with nuance and conviction. Explore more on my HYPHENATES tab!

​

While comedy, improv, and character acting are strengths of mine, I also love the social thriller genre, as I feel it uses the strongest, most interesting writing to highlight and embolden folks to question things around us. In other words, if Anna Kendrick, Jordan Peele, Greta Gerwig, Allison Jones, Bess Fifer, Rachel Tenner, or Charlie Brooker have a casting call out, I'm there! ​

 

Beyond performing, I’m the Co-Founder and CEO of Lighthouse Ladies, LLC, an acclaimed, women-led production company reshaping the industry with genre-bending, inclusive storytelling. Under my leadership, we’ve raised hundreds of thousands of dollars, supported 1,500+ creatives in our database and beyond, and earned accolades at Oscar-Qualifying festivals like the Tasveer Film Festival and globally at CIFF. We’ve secured partnerships with industry powerhouses like the Tony Award-winning Dramatists Guild Foundation, and our innovative networking series The Lighthouse Lounge connects hundreds per year. My work—whether in front of or behind the camera—is about pushing boundaries and making space for voices that deserve to be heard.

​

When I’m not acting, directing, or producing, you can find me obsessing over The Incredibles (it’s objectively one of the best films ever made, don’t fight me on this), watching boatloads of TV, going to the movie theatre after trying out a new recipe or restaurant, or being the best dang bunny mom I can be to my adorable rabbit Cinnamon (whom I rescued from the magic industry!)

​

At the end of the day, I’m here to tell unforgettable stories—with humor, heart, and a genuine desire to make audiences empathize with the work they see on screen, stage, and beyond. If you’re looking to connect or collab... what are you waiting for? Reach out!​
