Meet Vanessa: ModernWell’s Assistant Community Manager

Meet Vanessa Westerberg — the most recent addition to the team at ModernWell! Vanessa will serve as the Assistant Community Manager at the Minneapolis ModernWell location, becoming a familiar face for members as they experience their day to day co-working.

Vanessa describes herself as outgoing, a connector, and someone who thrives on being in spaces that value community, wellness, and creativity, making ModernWell an aligned place to further her career. Vanessa brings a blended background that stems from cold calling in her first gig out of college, eventually leading to event planning and marketing, and most recently deepening into community building, social media, and writing. She believes co-working is important, especially in a world where isolation is an easy habit to fall into. Human connection is what makes our day-to-day life just a bit brighter, especially when you are surrounded by women who light up about the work they do. She is eager to be a part of a woman-centered space, where creativity, connection, and living a life that is whole and well is prioritized.

Vanessa was born and raised in the Twin Cities, and has never strayed too far from home. She currently lives in the cities but has a pulsing sense of adventure and frequently enjoys experiencing the world and visiting new places as time allows. When Vanessa is not working, she is a writer and poet, with her recent poetry collection releasing just this past summer titled When Did I Become So Afraid? inspired from feeling behind, disconnected from herself in her twenties, navigating the unknown, and speaks to the feeling of no longer being who you once were and not quite sure who you are becoming yet. She is also a 200 Hour Certified Yoga Teacher and a 100 Hour Yin Certified Teacher and currently teaches at Life Time in St. Louis Park.

Vanessa, like many of our members, is a creative at heart and when she is not working, she is usually engaging in one of her many hobbies like film photography, playing music, trying new recipes (especially now that cozy season is upon us) and making new memories with loved ones. Vanessa enjoys exploring around the cities, trying new coffee shops, restaurants, and finding new trails or hikes (so if you have a favorite, be sure to let her know!).

Vanessa is thrilled to join the ModernWell community and is eager to connect with all of the lovely members who make this space as special as it is. She is so excited to get to know everyone and the uniqueness they bring to the space. Welcome, Vanessa!
