Vanessa Jackson is a Canadian actor who has a recurring part in the third season of Star Trek: Discovery as Lieutenant Audrey Willa.
Willa is introduced in Die Trying, when the USS Discovery finally reaches the hidden Federation Headquarters. As an aide to Fleet Admiral Charles Vance she is wary of a nine-hundred-year-old ship arriving unannounced, and she supervises the debriefing of the crew.
She accompanies the Discovery officers during their mission to the seed vault ship Tikhov in the same episode and comes to respect them. Jackson returns in several later episodes of the season in scenes at headquarters alongside Oded Fehr.
