Vanessa Villegas

Vanessa Villegas is a dynamic and multi-talented individual from Rhode Island, the smallest state in the U.S. She embarked on her modeling career in Boston and New York, where her natural desire to perform and create found a perfect outlet. Growing up as a high-level gymnast from the age of 3 to 17, Vanessa’s initial dream was to reach the Olympics. However, a career-altering injury changed those plans, but it didn’t stop her from pursuing her passion for performance.

This year, Vanessa landed a role in a Hyundai commercial that aired during the Olympics, portraying a gymnastics coach—a bittersweet achievement that connected her past and present. Beyond modeling, she’s made a name for herself in martial arts, stunts, and even flash-style dance, which she has uniquely claimed as her own. Her impressive skills in these areas helped her secure her first fitness campaign with Forme, further establishing her versatile talents.

When she’s not in front of the camera, Vanessa is an avid outdoor enthusiast. She is preparing for her most ambitious adventure yet—a thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) next Spring, which she plans to document in a YouTube series. 

Driven by a passion for creativity and performance, Vanessa Villegas continues to push boundaries in all that she does.
