About

I’m Vanessa, a Michigander who’s transplanted to Seattle. I work for a local software company.

Before coming to Seattle, I:

  • Spent several months spending the majority of my savings from Korea backpacking around Southeast Asia.
  • Was a public school English teacher in Daejeon, South Korea. I also volunteered at a couple local no-kill animal shelters.
  • Served as a Peace Corps volunteer in the Philippines.  There, I worked worked doing resource development at an elementary school, co-taught English classes and developed library resources at a provincial high school, and coordinated a region-wide teacher training program.
  • Earned a degree in vocal music education and worked as a substitute teacher.
