Vanessa joined MatureWorks in 2010 as a Volunteer Employment Counselor. As a member of the volunteer team, Vanessa was responsible for counseling new clients in their employment search and offering information on other community and career resources.
In 2011, Vanessa assumed the position of Client and Volunteer Outreach Associate. This role is the primary contact for potential clients, explaining the services of MatureWorks and scheduling initial registration appointments.
