DANIELLE - OFFICE MANAGER

Hello! My name is Danielle; Office Manager stationed at our Sacramento location. My first introduction into the cheer and dance world was through my daughter who has cheered for 10 years+. I have a background in working with several non-profit organizations and greater Sacramento area school districts as a program coordinator. I have experience facilitating workshops centered around healthy eating and physical activity as well as coordinating health fairs with partner organizations. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in nutrition and food and hold a Master of Public Health degree.

I stumbled on this administrative position and was so happy that I interviewed! I am not sure how to express how much of a blessing it is to see athletes come in not feeling super sure about what they are getting themselves into or if they will fit in or have what it takes only to end the season with so much confidence. I am super thankful to be able to have front-row tickets to their amazing transformation. Since coming into this position, the staff has worked to improve the atmosphere and culture in our gym by ensuring there is always transparency with parents. I pride myself on delivering quality service and communication with the hopes of your experience being one of a kind. Thank you for trusting COA as your premiere cheer and dance gym!
