Bio
Meredith Trainor
Danielle and I both worked for the Research, Conservation, and Exploration Division at the National Geographic Society from 2006-2008, and she was a wonderful colleague, project and event coordinator, and friend to me during my time there. Danielle is an incredibly organized, motivated individual who works very hard for the projects she believes in, and never steps back from a challenge. While I was at National Geographic I saw her organize and manage international travel for a medium-sized department and a sizeable group of NG donors and affiliates, contribute to the Green Transportation events that were held to motivate more sustainable transportation choices by NGS employees, help manage and organize the NGS Bioblitz events, and take on increasing amounts of responsibility (which she ably handled) over the years we worked together. She is superb when it comes to managing and delegating responsibility, and never lets the small details escape her planning. To this day, I envy and seek to emulate the spreadsheets she wrote out in planning events and projects within her department. Danielle was a great colleague and friend to me during my time at Geographic, and helped to make my professional experience there a much more full one than I would have otherwise experienced. I'd be happy to act as a reference should one be needed.

Danielle is the one of the most motivated, organized, and thorough employees with whom I have had the pleasure to work. If dedication, loyalty, and outstanding work is important to your organization, you want her to work for you. Danielle works well under pressure and meets her project deadlines and milestones. She is a team player and can bring people of various backgrounds and skill sets together. Danielle leads and executes team work of the highest quality.
