Veronica Ross-Mickan

Director

I recently became a resident of Hyde Park in November 2019 after purchasing a historical home that I am currently renovating. I hold a German for Foreigners Certification from the Universitaet-Ludwig-Maximillian-Munich, Germany. Amazing since Hyde Park was started by German immigrants. I love to travel and I hold an International Travel Agent and Business Degree from the International Chamber of Commerce in Munich, Germany. I currently teach German and Art Teacher at a North County High School.
