Testimonials

Editors and clients share what it's like to work with me: 

"Working with Danna is a seamless experience, from discussing the goal of our Impact Report to brainstorming details for interviewing a donor or alumnus. Danna’s intuitive understanding of the larger picture beyond the project has been critical in creating the groundwork for donor stewardship, audience development, and alumni engagement. Our Impact Reports for the last two years have elevated our presence and expanded our capacity to tell the story of SMFA at Tufts in a compelling manner. With so many demands on budgets and staff capacity, working with Danna has been one of the best investments our team has made over the last three years."
