"Danielle helped us put on a conference in another city that would not have been possible without her executive-level project management, negotiation, strategic thinking and problem-solving skills. Danielle became a key part of our team for a year and worked to make our event, and the long planning process leading up to it, easier for us and much more successful than we thought it could be.
I have never met anyone who could juggle and follow through on hundreds of important details with as much poise and energy. She gave excellent advice throughout the process, and we came to trust and rely on her guidance heavily as we made decisions. The next time we need external support on another event or project, she will be the first person I call."

Hampshire College is a private liberal arts college in Amherst, Massachusetts, United States. It was opened in 1970 as an experiment in alternative education, in association with four other colleges in the Pioneer Valley: Amherst College, Smith College, Mount Holyoke College, and the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Together they are now known as the Five Colleges, or the Five College Area.
The College is widely known for its alternative curriculum, socially liberal politics, focus on portfolios rather than distribution requirements, and reliance on narrative evaluations instead of grades and GPAs. In some fields, it is among the top undergraduate institutions in percentage of graduates who enroll in graduate school.
