Vernikov competed inladies' singles for the United States, but never qualified for theU.S. Championships.[1]
In 2019, Vernikov teamed up withEvgeni Krasnopolski, 14 years her senior, to compete inpair skating for Israel. She had never competed the discipline prior to the partnership.[2] In their debut international competition, the 2019 Open Ice Mall Cup, Vernikov/Krasnopolski won the bronze medal behind Croatia'sLana Petranović /Antonio Souza-Kordeiru andZoe Jones /Christopher Boyadji ofGreat Britain.
Vernikov/Krasnopolski opened their season with a tenth-place finish at2019 CS Nebelhorn Trophy. They then won the bronze medal at theVolvo Open Cup in November. At their second Challenger,2019 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb, Vernikov/Krasnpolski set personal bests in all segments and finished 11th overall.
In December, Vernikov/Krasnopolski won the national title at theIsraeli Championships. They were assigned to both the2020 European Championships and the2020 World Championships. They qualified to the free skating and finished 13th overall at Europeans. Vernikov/Krasnopolski then competed atChallenge Cup in February, finishing in fifth. The World Championships, scheduled for March, were postponed and eventually cancelled due to theCOVID-19 pandemic.
In October, Vernikov/Krasnopolski, alongside their coaches and the Israeli national team, relocated their training base fromHackensack, New Jersey, toMontclair State University inMontclair, New Jersey.[3] They received their first-everGrand Prix assignment, the2020 Rostelecom Cup, but withdrew due to pandemic travel restrictions. Since assignments for the2020–21 Grand Prix were allotted based on proximity to skaters' home country and/or training location, they were later reassigned to2020 Skate America to replaceRussia'sEvgenia Tarasova /Vladimir Morozov; under normal circumstances, skaters who withdraw from a Grand Prix will not be assigned a replacement one. Vernikov/Krasnopolski finished eighth at Skate America. They placed nineteenth at the2021 World Championships.[4]
