Meet Danielle: Danielle joined the IEP team in March of 2018. Growing up as a military dependent, Danielle lived all over the world and just so happened to pick up several languages, as you do. Challenging herself with a language like Arabic seemed like a no-brainer, and led her to study in Morocco and Egypt, before wrapping up her studies at the University of Alabama.  Danielle supports IEP consultant projects focusing on CRM management and implementation. She also relies heavily on her experience and skills from her days at St. Mary’s College of Maryland where she previously served as the Director of the Office of International Education. In her free time, she loves to watch Alabama football (Roll Tide!), write, run and hang out with her husband and kiddos.
