"I had the pleasure of hiring and working with Ms. Danks for a year as our International Communications Manager in Malawi.

In this role, Ms. Danks was responsible for communicating the work of LWT to various audiences both internally and externally including media, donors, trustees, volunteers, and foreign diplomats among others. 

During her time living and working in Malawi, she demonstrated a willingness to learn, grow and adapt to her new role both personally and professionally. Her passion for wildlife conservation and her ability to work on any project that was tasked exceeded my expectations.  Ms. Danks continues to impress me with her passion, skills and dedication. "

"I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside and knowing Michelle for over a decade now. We worked together at ECOLIFE Foundation and have remained friends ever since. Over the years, I’ve been impressed by her rare combination of creativity, strategic thinking, and deep integrity. 

She has a unique ability to think big while executing with precision.  Michelle brings heart, hustle, and a clear vision to everything she touches.

But more than her impressive resume, what sets Michelle apart is her commitment to conservation. Not only did she move to Malawi to live and work in wildlife conservation, but she also completed her master’s in Wildlife Conservation & Management because she believes deeply in protecting this planet.

Michelle is the kind of person who rolls up her sleeves, asks thoughtful questions, and then delivers something better than you imagined. She is steady in chaos, gracious under pressure, and truly one of the most reliable and mission-driven professionals I know.

Michelle brings the skills, the heart, and the perspective to help your mission grow.
