Jona Beliu
Vanessa is a true shining star. She is determined, honest and a pleasure to work with. Regardless of the timeline or the request, she delivers. Having her on the team makes meetings a joy and our projects flawless. She is one of a kind and I can't recommend her enough.

Vanessa has been an integral part of the founding team at Queer Food Foundation! She is one of the most passionate, hard-working, and detail-oriented people I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She is also transparent and is a great communicator which in turn allows QFF to work smoothly as a team. Through my time working with her, I have seen her successfully run programming such as The James Beard Foundation Panels. She plays to her strengths, and if there is ever something she isn't an expert on, she'll be the first to say it and look for a solution. Working with Vanessa has also taught me a lot about my working style and I am so thankful to be able to work alongside her.
