Danielle is the Head of Volunteering at TEDxLondon, working to recruit, co-ordinate and support the volunteer workforce that is the beating heart of TEDxLondon. Her love of all things TED includes curating TEDxMiltonKeynes and attending TEDx events in London, Boston and Toronto. In her day job, Danielle is a fundraising professional with over 15 years experience of working with individuals, businesses and charitable foundations.

I am passionate about building and strengthening communities, encouraging people to be active participants where they live and work, and promoting positive change and social justice.
