A Melbourne girl, Vanessa began her working career in the public service at the County Court of Victoria after studying Finance. With a passion for public policy and focus on community, Vanessa went on to be the Secretariat for the Responsible Gambling Ministerial Advisory Committee. However, she didn’t stop there - during her career at the Department of Justice, Vanessa helped facilitate the implementation of the Local Community Gambling Partnership Grants Scheme and facilitated networking opportunities and collaboration between gambler’s help services and local partnership agencies.

In 2009 whilst working as the Departmental Liaison Officer for the Minister for Gaming, Vanessa decided she would follow her heart and make a tree change to Wagga Wagga. She didn’t only fall in love with her soon-to-be husband, Vanessa fell in love with a thriving regional city she is proud to now call home!

Vanessa went on to work for Wagga Wagga City Council as their Economic Development Officer and Tourism Development Officer. In 2017, and two children later, Vanessa decided to take a step away from corporate life and increase her work/life balance by working full in the family business, Stanley Homes. A Wagga Wagga based boutique building business focusing on quality new homes and renovations. Vanessa also joined the Jim’s Group becoming the Regional Manager of Jim’s Building Inspections ACT/NSW.

In her spare time, you will find Vanessa usually in a boat on the water with her husband and two children appreciating the quality simplicity of family life in the Riverina.
