Business Administrator
Danielle Mccowan
I have a background in varying industries, but a lot of my career has been spent in administrative roles within the healthcare industry. I moved to Raleigh 5 years ago from the Washington D.C. area, which was the best decision of my life because I met my husband here and we have a beautiful daughter! I am so thrilled to be a part of the Atlantic Shared Beginnings team and a part of something so incredible and life-changing for others.
