Vanissa Chan is a VT Hokie Alum who moved to New York City in the fall of 2005 to embark on her dream to experience the starving artist lifestyle. Having overcome many strange, peculiar, and somewhat shocking New York-esque situations (shootouts, robberies, and a murder), Vanissa's story is unique and humorously absurd. Before becoming a Teaching Fellow working with the city's challenged age group population, Vanissa freelanced as an artist, falling for many naive traps, and jumping on the bandwagon of her clients' pipedreams. While mistakes were plenty (and costly), a little bit of fortune was also granted to Vanissa through the kindness of perfect strangers who slowly transitioned into closely-knit friends. This little bit of fortunte allotted a bit of media attention for Vanissa, like having her very first comic, Nicodemus, published in a pet newspaper, having herself and her artwork being featured in a music video, being advertised for opening an art gallery at her own apartment, and having a part in a documentary series about Brooklyn-based artists.
