Vanessa has been a writer since day one, filling up journals and submitting short stories since elementary school. Her passion for the written word is what led her to journalism. Now she finds her niche in the creativity of magazine journalism and the flexibility of new media.

Vanessa enjoys the simple things; namely a good book and a cup of Earl Grey. Her love for design and her appetite for current events make her a regular online explorer. She spends her free time finding new recipes and spending far too much money on asparagus and morels (among other things).
