Danielle Brigida’s Summary

I work as the Social Media Outreach Coordinator for the National Wildlife Federation. I support constituent outreach by investigating online tools and social networking sites to discover how best to use them to educate, engage, and mobilize people to protect wildlife.

As NWF's lead voice on Facebook, MySpace, Care2, Change.org, Digg, StumbleUpon and more, I track emerging trends and try to find the most effective ways to drive traffic to NWF's campaigns.

I really enjoy presenting and helping others implement social media.

I graduated from Christopher Newport University with a B.A. in Technical Writing and minors in Biology and Communications. In my spare time I enjoy reading, playing scrabble, working puzzles, and spending time outdoors.
