Veronica Rodriguez

Comunications and Outreach Coordinator

Puerto Rico Vector Control Unit

Veronica M. Rodríguez Quiñones was born in New York, but she has lived in Puerto Rico since she was three months old, where she has built both her personal and professional life. She studied Education at the Interamerican University of Puerto Rico and worked as a teacher for ten years, which allowed her to cultivate a strong foundation in pedagogy and strengthen her communication skills.

In 2019, she decided to broaden her experience by joining the Puerto Rico Vector Control Unit. She started as an educator, and thanks to her commitment and dedication, she now holds the role of Community Outreach and Communications Coordinator. In this position, Veronica has been instrumental in developing strategies to educate and engage communities in the prevention of mosquito-borne diseases, such as dengue, Zika, and chikungunya.
