Vanessa is truly passionate about her community and its ever-changing landscape. Coming from a long lineage of East Bay home builders, investors and farmers (yes, farmers!), Vanessa's knowledge of construction, land acquisition and the local real estate market has been a key part of her life ever since she was young.

Vanessa has spent the past ten years honing her skills as a real estate agent. She is also a passionate leader, having spent over 18+ years managing high-performance sales and marketing teams in the television and digital advertising space. Her corporate background has equipped her with the skills to negotiate and navigate through any high-pressure situation, no matter how big or small.

Outside of work, Vanessa is a lover of good food, travel, fitness, and her big Italian family. She's a mother of two beautiful children, who challenge and guide her every day. You can likely find her lifting weights, horseback riding, wake surfing, or cheering loudly at one of her kids' sporting events. She also plays an active role in the Big Brothers Big Sisters Organization and has dedicated much of her life to local East Bay youth and senior community service programs.
