How Victoria Justice Made It Big

Victoria Justice is starting the new year off right — with her very own show on Nickelodeon!

But the journey wasn’t always easy for the 16-year-old starlet. Victoria made it in Hollywood with a lot of perseverance and hard work.

Arriving in Los Angeles from Hollywood, Florida, Victoria was lucky enough to score a print modeling campaign with brands such as Guess, Gap and Ralph Lauren and after around 10 months of being in La La Land, was fortunate enough to get a meeting with Nick executives.

That one meeting turned into a role on the popular Zoey 101 starring Jamie Lynn Spears and Erin Sanders.

Two years after Zoey ended, Vic is now waiting the premiere of her new show Victorious set to premiere in early 2010 and doesn’t let any moment go to waste in thanking her fans.

Vic shared on twitter, “Happy new years eve my darlings! My god, the year has gone by soooo quickly… It’s crazy1″
