Veranika is a true Naturalist who believes in respecting and protecting Mother Earth & her creatures through the power of knowledge.
Thank you for generously supporting Veranika in this year’s competition. Your participation helps empower the National Wildlife Federation in their mission to protect wildlife, restore habitats, and inspire the next generation of conservationists.
Nature can mean so much, from plants and animals to climate and environments - with such a variety, learning about nature is always fun! Veranika is always learning something new and has found a strong interest in both climate change and endangered species.
Veranika's favorite animal is the Tiger - they are the largest species of felines in the world and are currently endangered. What makes tigers so special to Veranika is their strength, courage and fearlessness, traits Veranika tries to embody everyday. Not to mention, they are pretty good swimmers too!
Veranika loves to paddle board whenever the opportunity arrises! She also loves to go hiking with family and friends, and since she is lucky enough to live in Colorado, adventure is never too far!
