Experience
Danielle taught English in Poland, before returning to Canada to work in language and settlement programs for immigrant and refugee women. This experience motivated her to engage more directly in helping individuals undertake successful mid-career transitions.
She spent six years working in community-based employment services in Victoria, B.C. In 2013, Danielle joined World Skills, an Ottawa-based non-profit dedicated to supporting the employment needs of newcomers.
A move back to Victoria brought her to Royal Roads University’s Career Learning and Development team, where she seeks to bring a systems perspective and a hope-centered approach to her career work with graduate students.
