“I love being able to help someone out and put a smile on their face,” Veronica said. “I just want to make our community a welcoming and enjoyable place.”

Veronica’s journey with National CORE is as inspiring as it is impactful. As a resident, she was moved by the organization’s mission and sense of community. Eager to contribute, she started volunteering at holiday events, food drives and other activities, quickly proving herself indispensable to the property management team.

In 2006, seeking change and a solution to her relocating company, Veronica was drawn to Texas Regional Property Manager Lolita White’s infectious energy. Veronica seized the opportunity to become a full-time assistant manager at Sunflower Terrace.

Lolita said Veronica’s energy has been inspiring since the beginning.

“Veronica is essential to our Texas team,” Lolita added. “She goes above and beyond for our residents whether it’s securing food or rental assistance. She keeps the spirit high everyday even during the most difficult times.”

Congratulations, Veronica!
