She's called New York, Australia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and New Jersey home. She lives in the Garden State with her husband, two daughters and their Shih-Tzu, Teddy.
Vanessa loves adventuring in the great outdoors, has a strong aversion to litter and loves looking out for our planet. She's a one-and-done marathoner, but still runs regularly.
