On January 2008, Veronica Perez was appointed to the International Panel as an Assistant Referee. Her first year, she was appointed to work at two international tournaments: the Beijing Summer Olympics and the U17 CONCACAF Qualifier in Trinidad and Tobago. At the Olympics, she officiated in a quarterfinal match between Brazil and Norway.

Veronica has been officiating soccer in the professional divisions since 2001. A recent achievement is officiating on the Women's Professional Soccer inaugural match in Los Angeles. Another recent honor was being appointed to the NCAA Division II Women's 2008 Championship match as a center referee. Some of her memorable matches have been working on matches with the US Women's National Team. Another memory she is fond of is being a part of the referee development exchange program between Cal-North and Spain in 2002.
