A Little About Me

“Danielle led the team in their partnership for event communications. She provided timely, expert service throughout the entire 6 months leading up to the big event. Danielle's responsiveness, coordination across various teams and talent and big ideas all contributed to a successful campaign leading up to the AMA Chicago's largest event of the year. I would work with Danielle again in a heartbeat!”

Love Notes

“I did a presentation for Danielle and her team and it was a seamless experience. She was so organized and easy to work with. We also overlapped at Ketchum and I remember everyone noticed how much of an asset Danielle was to her teams. She has such a wonderful, easy going personality but is also super smart and strategic in her work.”

Katie Stoller, Founder

“Danielle had me on the McGuffin Mornings podcast and was a great content collaborator (and master of details and making sure I had all I needed as a guest presenter). Plus, we share a great love of food and Chicago and I just liked working with her!”
