Veronica Vasina, “V” for short, has been bringing energy, strength and heart to her role as a Bloomington firefighter over the past year. In addition to responding to emergencies, she’s on the wellness and safety committee and is training for the peer support team.
V holds a degree in exercise physiology with a minor in coaching. She is fully certified in firefighting, EMT, CPR and AED, and holds multiple CrossFit and strength coaching certifications. She also serves the Minnetonka and Shoreline fire departments and coaches fitness, gymnastics and diving.
Driven to help others, V thrives in high pressure, team focused environments that demand resilience and quick thinking. She credits her family, especially her mother, Heather, and husband Joe, for their support.
Off duty, V stays active outdoors and unwinds with a good book or a game of fetch with her cat, Puff.
