Veronica’s been in a newsroom for over 20 years, moving to the Chicago area in 2005. In addition to Virtual News Center Veronica continues on-air in Chicago.

Veronica was born in Santa Cruz, but her parents moved to a tiny town almost to the Oregon border. One of those towns where the only thing to do is cruise Main Street or go paint the class numbers on the hill above the city. After high school and JR college she had the fever to move to a big city. She packed up and moved to Sacramento where she enrolled in college to be a psychological profiler for the FBI — think “C.S.I”. Sacramento’s long gone, but the news bug isn’t.
