Vanessa is from Charlotte, NC, and began her career in higher education in 2019. At the time, a close friend who worked as an admissions representative at a local community college encouraged her to apply for an admissions advisor position at another institution. Watching her friend thrive in a role that supported students in achieving their academic goals inspired Vanessa to pursue a similar path.
As a first-generation college student, Vanessa experienced firsthand how difficult it can be to navigate college admissions, financial aid, and academic systems without guidance. Those challenges shaped her commitment to helping students feel supported and not alone in the process.
She brings strong communication skills and a natural talent for building relationships to every team she joins. Professionally, Vanessa considers it a major accomplishment to see former students graduate and step into careers they’re passionate about. Personally, she’s proud of teaching herself how to play the bass guitar.
“Empowering students and making a positive impact on their lives. Then, having those same students make a positive impact in the integrative health field.”
