In 1999, Veronica's entrepreneurial spirit began to soar as her childhood dream of owning her own business was realized when she launched BIVI Productions and BIVIStyleMagazine.com. Realizing her childhood dream wasn't always easy, she knew she had to tackle it head on, but Veronica realized she had what it took to be successful--regardless of challenging lifestyle changes and experiences she knew she had to overcome. It was through this journey that Veronica was empowered to share her real-life story with people of all ages to inspire them to pursue their dreams. As a speaker, Veronica enjoys sharing her story through "The Reality of Childhood Dreams™"--an enlightening, educational presentation and Interactive Lecture on How to Be A Goal-Setting Achiever. Through this presentation, Veronica inspires individuals to believe in their innate ability and demonstrates how to identify and pursue God-given talents amidst day-to-day challenges. Veronica tailors her presentation to students and adults of all ages. "My mission is to inspire, enlighten, and empower people throughout the world. Let me share my story, as I empower you to believe in yours."

From printed marketing materials (i.e., company logo, business cards, brochures, flyers, etc) to online, print, and broadcast (i.e., company website, public relations and/or advertising campaign, video production, media features, content development, image development, etc). We help you take your idea from conception to launch, selecting the right platforms, channels, and marketing tools you need to grow your business."--quotes Veronica. As CEO, Veronica is the engine behind the vision, design, and intellectual property of several web-based media channels through which she produces lifestyle content for businesses to market their products and/or services to consumers online.

"At BestBeautyMakeovers.com, we feature the best in healthy beauty brands, worldwide. Our mission at BestBeautyMakeovers.com is to promote healthy image solutions to teens and women.

Amongst her many endeavors, Veronica's mission is to not only promote major brands but to also utilize her knowledge and expertise to promote and teach rising stars tactics on how to work with the media to help them obtain the media exposure they need to grow their venture. At BIVI, we believe a rising star to be a business, talent, or personality who is teachable, and one who has not gained the media exposure it needs to successfully penetrate the market. She regularly selects qualified businesses to invite them onboard various media campaigns to give them a platform to promote their business. At her company's events, businesses connect with media, get featured, connect with businesses, obtain resources, learn about partnering with BIVI, and cost-effective advertising through our business subscriber programs. She sees this venture as a vehicle to give back to an under-served community of talented professionals that deserve to be in the limelight too--an opportunity that every rising star would knock at her door to obtain.
