A first-generation college graduate discovered her passion for Marketing while attending Mt. Hood Community College through the Early College Program. After earning her associate’s degree, she pursued a Bachelor’s in Communication Studies at Portland State University. Three years later, Vanessa ventured into the healthcare field, where she developed a deep love and dedication to hospice care and geriatrics. After working through the pandemic, she found herself seeking a creative outlet and a change of pace to reignite her joy. She found herself working at Honey Skin Wellness (Kat’s business) as the Business Office Manager doing anything and everything Kat needed help with to ensure that her business ran smoothly. This experience eventually led her to Resolution Construction, where she took the reins of Marketing as the company expanded. In her free time, Vanessa enjoys reading, furthering her credentials in the healthcare field, diving deep into marketing and creative media, listening to music, and embracing her Capricorn work ethic with a relentless drive to stay productive.
