Veronica Swett

Brief Bio/Introduction/About you:

I was born in Orange County, and raised in Chicago. I have now been back in Southern California for the last four years. My family and friends brought me back to visit but the weather and opportunity convinced me to stay. I am a blessed mother to a handsome young man; Caleb Michael, a devoted Matchmaker and thriving student. I grew up quickly and gathered life experience at a young age; many refer to me as an old soul. I am an empathetic and understanding person, my compassion for my clients and their happiness compels me to be a successful matchmaker.

What are your favorite platforms or which charitable organizations do you admire most?

I have two amazing and beneficial charities that I am passionate about. Elite Connection’s, Party with a Purpose: our annual fundraiser we have been putting on for the last 17 years. It is to benefit needy children and teens in the LA area. The other being my father’s non-profit called Kuza Project, it is based in Tanzania, Africa and focuses on bringing families living in extreme poverty to self-sufficiency through education, vocational skills and more.

What’s your dream job?

It’s safe to say I currently am doing it; the most rewarding thing in this world to me is to make a difference in someone else’s life. I am grateful to have the opportunity to be able to bring two people together that have been searching for their life partner- truly nothing compares, it warms my heart!

Ten years from now where do you see yourself?

Hopefully with more success stories under my belt!

How do you maintain work and life balance?

To remember that is in indeed a balance, if you overwork any aspect in your life it won’t be enjoyable anymore. Take breaks throughout and don’t feel bad for doing so. It’s healthy and necessary to step back and recharge at times.
