Her commitment to wildlife conservation as been demonstrated through work with the U.S. Peace Corps in Uganda as a Natural Resources Program Manager for the Uganda Wildlife Authority, as an International Environmental Analyst with the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative-Environment and Natural Resources, and more recently as a Senior Program Officer with the African Wildlife Foundation (AWF). Danielle’s current portfolio consists of eclectic support for AWF’s species programs, including the International Gorilla Conservation Program.
