Besides following her dreams as an actress and looking for romance, Vanessa also donates her time to the Trevor Project. The organization, which was founded in 1998, focuses on suicide prevention within youth in the LGBTQ+ community.

"I know firsthand how hard it can be to grow up questioning your identity in a world that’s not very patient," she explained. "I wanted to do more than just donate money to them, so I chose to become a volunteer."
