Vanessa is the type of girl that Jim and I were probably daydreaming about when we came up with the idea for HOT or NOT. She's bright, articulate, friendly, nice, and she's smoking hot! I talked to her on the phone and can testify that Vanessa is a total hottie! Keep reading to learn more about Vanessa (or just look at the pictures ;) )

Vanessa grew up in Northbrook, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. She was lucky enough to spend one year as a child living in Hong Kong, where she got her first taste of another culture. Since then, she's been a passionate traveler, and has had the opportunity to visit places like Rome, London, and Paris. She's also lived in Quebec, Canada, where she took an immersive program to learn French. She's even had the chance to visit Lebanon, her mother's home country. To Vanessa, "understanding different cultures is key." (time to pull out your travel books! lol)

Vanessa is currently a senior at Arizona State University (ASU), where she is majoring in Communications and minoring in Sociology. "I think it is important to be a person who is humble, modest, dreamy, ambitious, kind, giving, intelligent, and beautiful inside and out."

Looking forward, Vanessa would like to pursue a career in modeling and acting. It's clear that the future is bright for such a smart and personable hottie, we're excited to see what the future has in store for Vanessa (and don't forget us when you're partying it up in Hollywood!)
