Bio
Danielle Prager
I managed Kayla and quickly watched her PR skills improve during the summer we worked together. She's eager to learn, tenacious, and also fun to be around. Kayla handled administrative duties just as confidently as more difficult tasks such as pitching our clients to the media. And while I don't think technology was her favorite subject to write about, she did it with ease and a smile on her face.
