Veronica was cast for the Semester at Sea season while she was studying at UC Berkeley. Before she came to the show, as MTV described, her friends said that she could sometimes be "convincing, manipulative, and brutally honest to the point of hurting others' feelings." She definitely had trouble adjusting to her castmembers on the ship with resulted in a number of confrontations with Ayanna (Semester at Sea).

Since then, she has been dubbed the "Challenge Queen". Veronica has appeared on more Challenges than anyone else in the entire Real World and Road Rules casts and has won more Challenges than anyone else in the Viewers' Revenge cast. She made her first appearance on Challenge 2000, where she skydived solo her way to the grand prize. She was later sent home on Battle of the Seasons for being too much of a threat. On Battle of the Sexes she and several other girls were targeted by Emily (USA Tour 2) and eliminated. She would go on to win the next two Challenges, the Gauntlet and the Inferno with relative ease. When she went on Battle of the Sexes 2, she couldn't make it to the end. But she did return to the Inferno 2 and did make it to the end, only to lose the final mission.
