Danielle Rubin
Class of 2020
"It was very easy to fall in love with Community Outreach"
Danielle got involved in CO as a freshman because she was interested in Special Olympics which happens to fall under the CO umbrella. As she became more involved with Special Olympics, she became more involved in the CO community. Danielle was program director for the Special Olympics assistant coaching program for one year and then went on to be the program director for the Special Olympics committee for two years. During her time in CO, she had made many lifelong friends, made incredible memories that she will always cherish and was able to get valuable leadership experience.
Currently, Danielle is in the first year of her masters degree in Communication Science Disorders at Emerson College. After graduating, Danielle is hoping to become a speech language pathologist and work with special needs children. She hopes to continue to be involved in Special Olympics and volunteer with the Special Olympics team at the school she will work at in the future.
