Veronica is a Senior Community Manager at MongoDB.

Fun fact: "I've participated in the [Krispy Kreme Challenge](https://krispykremechallenge.com/) - where you run 2.5 miles, (attempt) to eat 12 Krispy Kreme donuts, and (attempt) to run 2.5 miles back to the starting line."

Pet peeve: "When people are rude to customer service representatives"

Be sure to [say hi to Veronica on Twitter](https://twitter.com/veronicajean621).
