R. W. Kern Center Building Dedication and Symposium I Amherst, MA I September 2016
R. W. Kern Center Building Ribbon Cutting I Amherst, MA I April 2016
"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."
-Joanna Olin, Chief of Staff, Office of the President, Hampshire College
