Currently, she leads the Casa Vida Hotel project, an adaptive reuse of a historical building to a 50-key hotel in Old San Juan, PR.

She also completed the first LEED Platinum Fixed Base Operator facility for Signature Flight Support in San Diego International Airport. In addition to her professional experience, Veronica was a Scholar of the Christopher Kelley Leadership Development Program. She was also a member of the ULI LA Young Leaders Group and volunteered with the AIA LA Women in Architecture Committee and Habitat for Humanity organization.
