Tracy says: “Vanessa is very charismatic. I was drawn to her right away. When we met, I had just moved to Kingston from Toronto and I wasn’t feeling comfortable yet. Vanessa is so smart and so passionate. She was like an oasis in the desert. We clicked immediately."
“The first time we really talked, I sensed that she gets it. She can see the big picture very quickly. That’s one of her greatest strengths. You can throw her into any environment and she can immediately see the problem and think it through. She can see when things work and when they don’t.”
Vanessa says: ‘I’m growing all the time. I’ll never stop growing. Every year on my birthday, I don’t celebrate how old I am, I celebrate what I’ve accomplished, what I’ve learned and how I’ve grown.”
When she’s not working: Vanessa’s passions include people watching, movies, music, comedic theatre, working out and anything to do with her son. She considers herself a foodie, but not in the conventional sense. “I know what I like and what I don’t like,” she says.
Coolest accomplishment: Giving birth, starting SmallWorld with Tracy, and jumping out of a plane. “They all liberated me in different ways.”
