Veronica is a Santa Cruz native. She attended UC Santa Cruz where she studied Human Biology with a minor in Education. Prior to attending PA school, she worked as a medical assistant for four years. In 2020, she graduated from Samuel Merritt University as a Physician Assistant.

Veronica developed a passion for health care after being a patient at the Women’s Health Center where she was seen by a compassionate doctor, dedicated to healing. One of her goals has been to return to this community that inspired her and give back as a provider and educator. She hopes to promote trust, build relationships with her patients, educate, youth outreach, and continue to learn from every encounter.
