Meet our Team

Vanessa has spent nearly 20 years in the Food and Beverage industry, spanning small local restaurants to high end 5-star / 4 Diamond resorts. With a background as a Mixologist and Restaurant Manager, she pours her heart into every recipe, client, and event. She has a passion for sustainability and believes that this industry could make an incredibly large impact on the planet if we simply created less trash, and turned to composting - which is exactly what Benefit Bar does! She is a serial entrepreneur, and proud dog Mom when she isn't found behind the bar creating unique recipes.
