Vanessa Montes, born in Lima, Peru and raised in Miami, Florida. I learned about multi-tasking throughout my adolescence, managing high school, working afternoons and weekends. From all my different jobs growing up I have attained several great qualities, maturity, and listening skills. Most of all, I understand the meaning of hard work, teamwork and dedication.
After high school I pursued a career design and technology, I attended The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, graduated with a degree in Computer Science majoring on Multi-Media & Design. The basic description of that is: graphic design, web development, interactive media, photography, and audio/video production.
I currently work for a great company, Suncoast Marketing Inc., a distributor for printing and promotional products in Fort Lauderdale. I’ve been part of the company since early 2005 as the Graphic Arts & E-Commerce Director to lead their creative department.
Another job that keeps me very busy is Chef George Catering. A special events catering company operated by chef Jorge Montes. Does the last name sound familiar? The chef is my brother. We opened the family-owned business late 2008, we are very excited about this new venture and working hard to fulfill this long-time dream.
