Vanessa is a therapeutic social worker and enjoys working with vulnerable people and communities. Vanessa not only uses her professional study background but personal experience as a tool to support and provide hope to all who come to her. A Crossroad Destiny is another tool written with the intention of supporting all who have ears to hear. Vanessa is also the author of several children's books including: My Lonely Dolly The Blue Crayon The Old Teddy The Red truck Connor the Kangaroo from Kalgoorlie Nana Loves Dress Ups A Cat Called Harvey. Using the stories as an analogy into the real world, Vanessa believes her stories can be used as a tool to have difficult conversations with children.
