Veronica, the business owner, was born and raised in McAllen, TX. In 2013, she left her hometown and started studying at UT Austin. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and a Certification in Elements of Computing in Computer Science. After that, she joined a combined program at UT Health Science Center SPH in Houston, Texas. There, she completed her Master's in Public Health (Health Promotion & Health Education) and gained enough experience to sit for the Registered Dietitian Examination. In 2019, she successfully presented her thesis, graduated, passed the exam, and added "MPH, RDN, LD" to the end of her name.
Veronica has since returned to her hometown, The Valley, and has been practicing nutrition, specializing in endocrinology. In September 2021, Veronica passed a national exam to obtain her Board Certification in Advanced Diabetes Management (BC-ADM). In August 2024, after many years of supervision hours, Veronica received an Inclusive Eating Disorder Specialist (IEDS) certification.
Once she established her LLC in 2021, she discovered that the most fulfilling aspect of her profession is interacting with and supporting everyone she encounters. Her proficiency in treating eating disorders/disordered eating allows her to assist both young people and adults as they work towards their recovery. Besides her work, Veronica enjoys listening to podcasts, reading, and playing with her dog, Leo Barkley Gonzalez. :)
