Bio
Daniel Vollaro
I had the pleasure of teaching Ben Anderson in Summer 2019. He signed up for my internship class, and I placed him with Rainbow Village, a nonprofit that works with homeless families in Gwinnett County, providing temporary housing and other services. He worked on a variety of tasks for the marketing team—conducting interviews for articles in the organization’s newsletter, editing video testimonials, and conducting research for grant proposals. Ben demonstrated that he is a fast learner and a team player. I find him to be thoughtful, professional, and full of great ideas and insights. I have enjoyed working with him.
