She is very familiar with the region because, for more than three years, Veronica worked as a reporter and weekend morning/noon anchor at WZZM 13 ON YOU SIDE in Grand Rapids, Michigan. That's where she earned a Michigan Association of Broadcasters "Best in Sports" award for her story, "Sparta-Rock Rugby."

Veronica is a passionate animal welfare advocate and has spent years promoting adoption, fostering, and rescue efforts in every community she has lived in.
