Vanessa Onuoha

Manager of Communications

Vanessa moved to New York to join the Redeemer East Side team after graduating from Stanford University in 2025. Originally from St. Louis, Missouri, she first fell in love with New York during a visit in 2018 and soon became eager to make the city her home. After years of discerning whether God was calling her into vocational ministry or the broader professional world, Vanessa is ecstatic to work at Redeemer East Side, where she uses her creative skills to support the church’s ministries and tell stories of how God is at work on the East Side of Manhattan and beyond. When she’s not behind the camera, you can most often find Vanessa curating a niche playlist, gathering people together, or watching rugby.
