Vanessa moved to Bakersfield from Ventura in 2013 after graduating from Cal State Channel Islands with a degree in Communications. Over the years, Bakersfield has truly become home, especially after she and her family found Rock Harbor Church in 2017.

For the past seven years, Vanessa has had the privilege of staying home with her two children. She is excited to step into a new season where she can use her strengths and experience to support the staff and serve wherever she is needed. Rock Harbor has become a meaningful part of Vanessa’s life and her family’s life, and she considers the opportunity to grow alongside the church and serve in this way a true blessing.
