Here is my official intro...

I am Danielle, resident of NY about 70 miles north of the city. I currently work part time for H&M (retail) while I raise our 3 young children/ Madeline is 3 1/2 and my twins Greg and Liam are 20 months. I've been married to Kevin for almost 6 years.

I've been contemplating pursuing my MBA for a few years now but got too good at making babies. Now we are DONE so I would like to pursue a graduate degree full force. I supported my husband when he went and now it is my turn.

I graduated from Boston University in 1998 with dual degrees in International Relations (BA) and Management (BSBA).

My career background is in the corporate side of retail, I went through a buying executive training program back in 1998. I have also worked briefly as a financial advisor and also workewd as a retail manager. My non-career background is in bartending, selling furniture and part time retail (currrent). My salary potential limits me from working full time as I can not afford daycare. So, it is either go back to school, get a full ride and use loan money and family help to have child care, or wait until my kids are in school and try to do "something". I am 31 so I am not getting any younger either.

I see a viable career path in Brand Management or Operations. I speak French and plan to use it, Finally! I'd love to work for Veuve Cliquot or a similar company, driving business in the US.

For schools, USC (Darla Moore) is my #1 choice as it is an international program and we also are moving to SC.... it is like it is almost sooo meant to be! I'll also be applying to a couple of other schools, notsure which ones. UNC Chapel Hill would probably be my reach.

I am looking forward to getting to know everyone better on this journey!

Thanks so much for detailed intro, Danielle. Smile

i always look forward to know better about members of this forum.

One thing I wanted to ask you ever since you're here-
how would you pronounce your name?
I thought Daniel is man's name.

gothedistance · Posted: Tue May 22, 2007 12:07 pm Post subject:

hmmmm, let's see, daniel is pronounced dan-yuhl with the accent on the first syllable. Danielle is pronounced dan-yell with the accent on the yell.

it is the feminine of Daniel which is Hebrew. I am not Jewish though, my parents liked the song Daniel by Elton John and named me after the song, albeit the feminine of it....
