Graduated from the Royal Academy of Music in London, Veronica is said to be one of the most sensitive, creative and emotionally engaging pianists in her generation. While reading Art History and Architecture History at Edinburgh University, Veronica won various piano competitions including the 1st prize and contemporary music award at the International Students Piano Competition in Holland, where she performed Grieg's Piano concerto in the final for an audience of 1600 and received a standing ovation. Veronica studied with Professor Patsy Toh and Joanna Macgregor at RAM, with Peter Evans in Edinburgh, and with Professor Irina Zaritskaya and Janusz Piotrowicz privately. Veronica was awarded 'distinction' at both her diploma and master's recitals at the Royal Academy of Music.

Veronica performs extensively both in England and in continental Europe, as well as in Asia. She has given recitals at venues like Chopin's Residence in Edinburgh, the Reid Hall, the Festival Theatre, Conway Hall and Bush Hall in London, at Theatre Marcello in Rome National Music Festival and the Salzburg Festival as well as in Milan (teatro Creta).
