ABOUT VF

VF Castro is the Chief Communications Officer for PLUGD Electric. Prior to this role, VF was a veteran sports journalist, where she covered Texas Tech and the Big 12 for various different outlets. VF is a proud graduate from the Harvard University Extension School, cum laude, where Government was her concentration.

After a brief stint in politics as the policy director and strategist on a congressional campaign, VF saw an intersection between Formula One and government and politics, and THE AVANT IVY started taking shape.

This is primarily used as a page to showcase VF's writing portfolio.

VF has a podcast called The VF1 Show with her co-host, Vincenzo Landino--where they discuss the business and political aspects of Formula One. New episodes are released every Friday!
