Born and raised in Cameroon, Vanessa discovered her passion for caring through her early fascination with medicine and later in laboratory sciences, where she found meaning in the quiet power of prevention and healing. Over the years, her journey revealed that true health goes beyond the physical – it also involves restoring the mind and spirit.

Her career in laboratory sciences has allowed her to blend analytical precision with deep empathy, and her personal experiences have shaped a heart attuned to the silent struggles many young women face. Guided by faith and compassion, she believes that awareness, understanding, and love can transform pain into purpose.

As Board Secretary and Founding Member of Nuvia, Vanessa brings her sense of organization, wisdom, and heartfelt commitment to the mission of helping girls and young women heal, rediscover hope, and believe again in their future.
