Veronica Paula Sandoval
About Veronica...
Veronica currently works at Wilson Associates. With over 11 years in the hospitality industry, she has had the opportunity to work on numerous projects with an emphasis on historic hotel renovations and luxury resorts. Restoring properties to their elite status with an updated twist, often gives the guest a step into the past while still including modern amenities to create an unforgettable experience. Many of her design inspirations come from the 5 months Veronica studied abroad. She lived in Florence, Italy and was able to travel to over 30 cities in 5 different countries. This time allowed her to progress her Italian language studies, as well as obtain a more worldly perspective of design.
