Dr. Ryan LaHurd, President Emeritus of the James S. Kemper Foundation
"Danielle is a pleasure to work with because she is extremely collaborative, passionate and organized. Her positive attitude can make nearly any work seem fun and interesting. She usually stands out as the leader on major programs and initiatives because she manages up and ensures that everyone is organized and on task. She’s also always willing to assist and support projects that are outside of her scope of work.
Additionally, Danielle is efficient, detail-oriented, and extremely competent. She often successfully finishes a task well before the deadline. She is extremely organized, and never misses a deadline or forgets an assignment. Danielle also has an excellent rapport with people of all ages. [...] Her excellent communication skills (both written and verbal) allow her to connect with all kinds of people and to inspire them to put forth their best effort.
In summary, Danielle is a valuable asset to any organization and I look forward to her continued growth and success."
April Caldwell, Chief Program Officer of Girls, Inc. of New York City
"Danielle is smart, strategic, thorough, and incredibly flexible. As leader of the organization, I was impressed with her ability to manage her portfolio independently during a time of transition and [...] take the lead in bringing in [...] outside partners to enhance the program and provide funding. As a 'volunteer' in her program, I was struck [by] how well organized she was as a volunteer manager. She is also skilled at hiring and managing staff.
I highly recommend Danielle. I would hire her again in a minute for a position that needed expertise in education, program management, volunteer or staff management, and/or working directly with children and/or adults. "
