Bio
Brooklyn Dippo
I had the privilege of working with Dani while she was the Opinion Editor for The USD Vista and she was the hardest working editor on staff. She always submitted articles on time, if not several days before deadline, and produced consistent, high quality work. Her communication skills are super; she was always in contact with writers for her section and the executive staff to ensure a smooth publication process. She was a very dependable editor who we could rely on in any situation. We often referred new writers to work with Dani because of her incredible charisma and clear guidance. In addition to all of this, the articles that Dani wrote provoked tangible change on campus. School administrators often reached out to her for student thoughts and opinions to improve the community. She is a brilliant writer and a joy to work with. I highly recommend hiring Dani to be a part of your team!
