“Denise's expertise in youth development and as a Girl Scout troop leader were critical in making the Tips For Troop Leaders content hub on girlscouts.org a success. As a member of our national Volunteer Expert panel, she regularly shared advice with the tens of thousands of troop leaders who read our articles every month. Deeply thoughtful with her editorial contributions, Denise had a knack for highlighting effective youth development practices and tying them back to successful Girl Scout programming. It was immensely helpful for adult volunteers to hear the "why" behind an approach--whether it was around amplifying girls’ voices, strategies for belonging, or intentionality in developing an inclusive culture within a troop—and see how they could implement similar strategies with their troops. Denise's passion for young people shined through in every conversation we had, and she made a real impact on Girl Scout troop leaders across the country.”
