St. Teresa of Avila Parish

A lifelong St. Teresa parishioner, Vanessa took over leadership of The R.O.C.K. after relocating back to the area from New York City. She graduated from Ashland University with a Bachelor's degree in business, specializing in marketing and public communication. She has worked locally and out of state for LifeShare Community Blood Services, Community Blood Center in Dayton, and New York City Dance Alliance/Onstage New York in New York City. She has also coached competitive cheerleading and hip-hop for many years at various All-Star gyms, working with kids ages four and up.

Vanessa was a mass server prior to accepting her role with the R.O.C.K. She is excited to be able to serve the Lord in this new and exciting way now working with the Parish youth. She is also active in the Church as a lector and Eucharistic minister!
