I'm Vanessa Chester, a proud SAG-AFTRA member since the age of three. I'm best known for my roles in A Little Princess and The Lost World: Jurassic Park. As the daughter of Guyanese immigrants and a first-generation college graduate, I'm passionate about access to opportunity, education, and social justice.

I’m dedicated to improving the quality of life for working actors and empowering performers to know their worth.
