Howdy! My name is Danielle, and I’m joining the BrightGauge family as a Product Marketer.
I found my way to BrightGauge through the enthusiasm of my friends, and now coworkers, Nathali and Jose, who shared their joy of working with such a passionate, fun-loving group of people dedicated to helping businesses get the most out of their data. It was once I started digging into what they do that I just knew I had to join.
So far, it’s been great getting to help build a tool that solves real problems while working with a group of people always striving to do things better while bringing the best out in those around them. Everyone’s real good at speaking gif too.
As product marketer, I’ll be focused on trying to help create the best experience possible for our community while exploring the best ways to communicate about all of the awesome things that we do. I’m curious about how people perceive and experience BrightGauge, so you might see an email from me one day asking for a few minutes of your time.
While I call Houston home, I’ve moved a bit throughout my upbringing, living in different spots along the beautiful Appalachian trail. My mom served as chaplain at a couple of boarding schools, and subsequently, I shipped myself off to a college prep school for high school. In school, I competed in rowing and field hockey, while taking a large interest in video production. During summers I would spend my time kayaking in Maine and working at my family’s bed and breakfast in Connecticut. If you’re looking for one of the most beautiful places to hike and see the Fall leaves change color, that’s the place to be!
Before BrightGauge, I studied Psychology, Journalism, and Anthropology at the University of Miami. Too much -- but all on the right path to where I am today! It was then that I began to learn how to code, and witnessed a large shift in interest towards getting into tech and understanding the inner-workings of our connected world. After school, I joined LiveNinja, a local communications startup, where I took on a little bit of everything under support, marketing, and customer success.
I’m a bit of a nerd for good typography, maps, and smoky mezcal ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. If you want to find me outside of the BrightGauge office, chances are I’ll be zipping across the Venetian on my bike, creaking my way through a yoga class, making scratch-ramen and calling myself a chef, or taking my dog Bowie to places he’d rather not be.
I also like to dedicate a bit of my free time to organizing Code for Miami, a civic-hacking brigade focused on educating and bringing the Miami community together around the possibilities of their data, engaging citizens through enacting change together. We meet for a couple of hours every Monday night and regularly host hackathons and Disco(ver)Tech events. I hope to see you at the next one!
