Danniela: My name is Danniela Estrada and I went to Sandwich High School, graduating class of 2018.
Danniela: I was in YEP for two years.
Danniela: I’m currently studying at Villanova School of Business in Philadelphia. I’m a junior this year majoring in Accounting and International Business with minors in Spanish and Business Law.
Danniela: This summer I interned virtually with PwC (PricewaterhouseCoopers). During this time, I competed in a data analytics case competition. My team went on to win the central market division against teams from all over the Midwest! It was super exciting and nerve-wracking to present our winning project to a group of almost 200 interns!
Danniela: YEP introduced me to ways I can get involved in my local community. In addition, YEP gave me the opportunity to connect with students all over DeKalb County.
Danniela: We can all make a difference in our backyards. The small things we do can have a significant impact. YEP was an amazing way to connect with students from different schools and help my local community.
Danniela: During my freshman year of college, I joined a Service Leadership Organization. This was a great way to meet friends and learn about the volunteer opportunities near Philly. This has been one of my favorite groups on campus and I am currently on the Executive Board!
