Suddenly losing then slowly regaining her sight led Vanessa to change direction, turning the camera upon herself to tell her story via immersive art and storytelling. Vanessa's collaborations have led to some exciting partnerships, and she is currently working on developing an interactive EEG science-art project that allows the public to see and understand the effects of mindfulness on their brains. She is also involved in several other scientific research projects. Her speaking engagements include a June 2016 TEDx talk in Ghent, Belgium. Vanessa's desire to find answers compelled her to narrate her gripping real-time account of suddenly going blind; her insight and scientific knowledge of neurological and autoimmune diseases is both educational and inspiring. @PatientH69view less
