Vanessa

Vanessa is a 5th grader attending Basis DC who knows beginning Chinese, enjoys arts and crafts, cooking and social media.  She began competing in pageants at around 11 months old.  She participated in such great systems as America's Classic Miss, America's Fabulous Faces, America's Little Miss, Beautiful Belles & Beaus, Cinderella, Rainbows Pageant and Sunburst USA/International.  While competing Vanessa won many queen titles while only placing as a runner-up twice.  She won the Grand Supreme Maryland State title for America's Classic Miss in 2006 and the America's Little Miss title in 2004 sweeping all side awards for both competitions.  After Vanessa's 2006 win at America's Classic Miss she took a break from pageantry to focus on entering kindergarten.  She's created many treasured memories since then via Girl Scouting, growing a garden at her nana's house which provides staple vegetable for the family during the summer months, learning to swim and play soccer, cheerleading, and supporting her mother's efforts as she ran and won the elected Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner position for their neighborhood but honestly she missed pageantry so she decided to once against participate in her beloved past-time (with her mother's permission of course.)
