She subsequently won three (3) additional Marlin Awards for her participation on several projects. She is also a Cacique Award winner and she was also recently nominated for the US based Praise Factor Awards.

Vanessa has traveled extensively throughout the United States, Turks & Cacios, Jamaica, and the Cayman Islands as well as to many of our Family Islands.
