Working with Vanessa has been nothing short of amazing. From day one, she has demonstrated professionalism, patience, and true dedication to my success as a travel social worker. She communicates clearly, follows up consistently, and advocates for me in every step of the assignment process. What I appreciate most is her ability to make everything feel seamless whether it’s coordinating placements, answering questions, or providing support when things get stressful. Vanessa genuinely cares about her clinicians, and it shows in the way she goes above and beyond to make sure we feel valued, informed, and prepared. Because of her guidance, I’ve feel confident in my assignment and supported. If you’re looking for someone who truly has your back, look no further. Vanessa is exceptional.
