Veronica’s acting career began in first grade, when she was bribed with Oreos to be in a commercial about toothpaste. Go figure, she never contracted a cavity from that whole roll of Oreos, and her tooth health has been impeccable ever since. As a military kid, she continued to pursue school and community theatre opportunities in every one of the 9 places she’s lived. After moving from Boston to Yorktown, Virginia after her sophomore year of high school, Veronica faced the great unknown in conquering her last two years of high school theatre and college auditions. Not to mention, she had just filmed and won 2 episodes as a contestant on the Food Network show “Chopped.” In true Veronica fashion, she made herself right at home, enrolling in the York County School of the Arts (SOA) to concentrate in Theatre and Dance. SOA afforded her the opportunities to pursue student film and ultimately the International Thespian Society. With the help from her acting and voice coach, Mark Bzdick, she qualified for the International Thespian Festival in her individual monologue performance and went on to receive a Superior score from all three adjudicators. Soon thereafter, Veronica joined the ranks of fellow college auditionees in the Virginia Theatre Association and Unifieds college search. Her search led her to pursue drama at UVA, where she now plans to double major in Drama and Marketing, pursuing a career in film acting and/or directing. She knows her major combination is odd, but preaches that marketing will help her learn the business side of showbiz, in which she can practice marketing herself and others in the constantly evolving world of the performing arts.
