Prior to joining NALIP, she was a stage manager on several theatrical productions with Whittier College and Chrysalis Stage. With an interest in the entertainment industry, Vanessa was recruited to serve as VIP Coordinator during the the 2011 NALIP Media Summit (formerly the National Conference) where she hosted top industry executives, assisted with PR/Marketing and managed special events designed to maximize interaction between VIP attendees and top NALIP leadership. Before the summer’s end, she was hired full time and promoted to Office Manager and Membership Coordinator. Integrating her knowledge of social media and new technologies into NALIP’s outreach strategy, Vanessa almost tripled the organization’s social media following and online presence. With a solid social media following and a rise in membership, Vanessa was promoted to Communications Manager where she is currently trusted with the development of NALIP’s national communications strategy, industry relations and original multimedia content.
Vanessa is a graduate in Theatre and Communications Arts from Whittier College, where she worked on the stage as well as behind it. While at Whittier, she received a Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival Merit Award for her work in theatre production.
