She rediscovered her interest in working with patients with a variety of disease states. 

Veronica now works in the University sector as the campus dietitian. Through this role she helps students navigate their college career while maintaining or improving their relationship with food. She provides nutrition counseling to students for disease management, avoiding food allergens, and challenging eating disorders. She uses her platform to teach her food philosophy, which is "fuel your mind, body and spirit!"
