Vanessa brings a wealth of experience in political fundraising and advocacy to her role at Solidarity Strategies. She is a first-generation Peruvian-American, originally from Passaic, New Jersey.

 

Prior to joining Solidarity Strategies, Vanessa honed her skills at the Strathdee Group, where she played a pivotal role in fundraising efforts for Democratic Latino Members of Congress like Reps. Tony Cárdenas and Sylvia Garcia. During her two-year tenure, she also collaborated with Empire Consulting Group to support Members in Leadership.

 

Before her time at the Strathdee Group, Vanessa gained valuable experience supporting political campaigns, including interning with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus political arm, CHC BOLD PAC, during the 2020 election cycle. Her commitment to community outreach and fundraising was further developed through internships with the U.S. Peace Corps and Rep. Jose Serrano.

 

Vanessa is passionate about advancing Hispanic representation and ensuring they have a voice at the table. She is excited to join the firm to continue electing and supporting diverse members of Congress who represent communities similar to the one in which she grew up.
