Danielle Doolen

Danielle has been writing about careers and work ever since her five-year plan after college began to unravel. She realized life is too short to spend every day unhappy at work and became passionate about learning how to find a fulfilling career, how to transition careers, and how to work better. In addition to work and well-being, Danielle enjoys exploring how to support women in the workforce and advance equity for all.

Danielle is a Corporate Communications Manager at one of the nation’s largest automotive retailers where she creates and executes communications strategies to inform employees and foster company culture. She holds a master’s degree in Professional Accountancy from The University at Albany and began her career in public accounting prior to falling in love with writing and storytelling. Over her unique career, Danielle has acquired diverse experience in the specialties of audit, recruiting, operations, and social media.

When Danielle isn’t working or writing, she’s chasing around her toddler son with her husband, preferably with a cup of coffee in hand. A few things that spark joy in Danielle’s life include late 90s/early 2000s rom coms, dry red wine, running, popcorn, traveling, podcasts, and indulging in a good playlist of Taylor Swift and alternative indie music from her teenage angst days.
