Verónika Fanny Mendoza Frisch (born 9 December 1980), popularly known as Vero Mendoza, is a Peruvian psychologist, educator, and politician. She was a Member of Congress representing the Cusco region from July 2011 until July 2016. She was the candidate of the Broad Front in the 2016 presidential election.

Verónika Mendoza was born on 9 December 1980 in the San Sebastián district of Cusco Province, in Peru’s southern Andean highlands. She is the daughter of Marcelino Mendoza and Gabrielle Marie Frisch D'Adhemar, a French citizen. Owing to her mother’s nationality, Mendoza holds a dual, both Peruvian and French, nationality.

She studied at the Virgen del Carmen school in the city of Cusco and the Université Paris Diderot, in Paris, France, from which she graduated with a degree in Psychology in 2003. Subsequently, she received a Master’s Degree in Social Sciences from the New Sorbonne University in 2006, and then a Master’s Degree in Education, with an emphasis on Spanish language, from Madrid’s Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia, in 2009. Mendoza also speaks Quechua, an indigenous and official language of Peru.
