“Vanessa is also an exceptional communicator. She engages confidently with frontline officers, senior executives, industry representatives, and partner agencies, adapting her communication style to suit the audience while maintaining professionalism and clarity.
She has a natural ability to build trust and foster strong working relationships, which proved invaluable when coordinating multi-agency responses and engaging with stakeholders across the border and supply chain environment”

Even in the most demanding operational periods, she made space to mentor, guide and challenge me in ways that built long‑term capability”.
