Vanessa say's she's a work in progress and that's how she likes it. Allowing her to be instinctive and purposeful in the roles she chooses or more importantly the roles that choose her. Those roles go from self deprecating humor to emotionally flawed and jaded which she navigates seamlessly. She strives to keep people laughing, even if it's through tears.
