Graduated from the Royal Academy of Music in London, Veronica is said to be one of the most sensitive, creative and emotionally engaging pianists in her generation. While reading Art History and Architecture History at Edinburgh University, Veronica won various piano competitions including the 1st prize and contemporary music award at the International Students Piano Competition in Holland, where she performed Grieg's Piano concerto in the final for an audience of 1600 and received a standing ovation. Veronica studied with Professor Patsy Toh and Joanna Macgregor at RAM, with Peter Evans in Edinburgh, and with Professor Irina Zaritskaya and Janusz Piotrowicz privately. Veronica was awarded 'distinction' at both her diploma and master's recitals at the Royal Academy of Music. Her performance was reported as 'poetic and sensitve'; and she, herself as 'a committed and confident performer, having a sense of courageous engagement with the music and natural communication with her audience'.

Veronica performs extensively both in England and in continental Europe, as well as in Asia. She has given recitals at venues like Chopin's Residence in Edinburgh, the Reid Hall, the Festival Theatre, Conway Hall and Bush Hall in London, at Theatre Marcello in Rome National Music Festival and the Salzburg Festival as well as in Milan (teatro Creta). Her recital at the Edinburgh Festival was reviewed by The Herald as '[Janacek sonata] was searching, profound and utterly authentic, and underlined the significance of the piece'. Veronica has also great passion in chamber music performances. She has collaborated with pre-eminent performers like guitarist Xue-Fei Yang and baritone John Morgan from the Royal Opera, and appeared as a soloist with the Russian Philharmonic Orchestra's concert tour in Taiwan. Veronica has also appeared on ITV's South Bank Show playing Kurtag's piano duet (with Neil Georgeson). Her great interests in the arts has led Veronica to start, since 2002, giving creative piano performances, by collaborating with dancers, poets and visual artists ~ Piano Theatre. She has given several highly acclaimed Piano Theatre concerts in London, at the Edinburgh Festival and in Taiwan. In 2007, Piano Theatre gave a sold-out concert tour inTaiwan and was filmed and broadcast by the Public TV. Veronica wishes to continue creating new possibilities for piano performances.

Apart from performance, Veronica has great passion for arranging and composing. In 2005, Veronica began to arrange piano trios for Chi-Mei cultural foundation. In the summer of 2006, Veronica appeared in a music documentary film made by a former BBC director Tim Meara. The score for Alina's Song - for flute and piano, was exhibited at Musikmesse Frankfurt (Frankfurt International Music Fair) in 2007 and was published by Studio Music in London. In 2007, Veronica released her first album~ European Fantasy (with her performance as well as her compositions). The album was released by Jingo Record in Taiwan and was immediately listed as top 4 of classical chart and remained top 10 for several months. In 2008, Veronica's Composition (together with Neil Georgeson) for Yvonne Yen's Pioture book: Stars, was published by the Commonwealth Publication and exhibited in Frankfurt International Book Fair. As a result of her musical achievements, Veronica was named one of the 'Best Youth Overseas' by the Taiwanese Government.
