Welcome to the CAS Staff Spotlight, a column featuring members of the CAS staff. For this spotlight, we are proud to introduce you to Danelle Gee.
- What do you do at the CAS?
I am the Actuaries’ Resource Center Manager, and I oversee the daily functions of the ARC, which involves everything from phone reception to updating candidate profiles, processing new member applications, answering general email inquiries and just about everything in-between. - What do you enjoy most about your job?
I enjoy the feeling that I’ve helped someone every day. From answering questions via phone or email, or sending congratulatory notices to new members, the responses and gratitude I receive are very satisfying. Oh, and the people I work with are pretty awesome, too! - Hometown:
Alexandria, Virginia. - College and degree:
I graduated from Hampton University with a bachelor of science degree in sports management. - First job out of college:
Right out of college I became a personal trainer because I was training for the Olympics and the hours were flexible. - Describe yourself in three words:
Loyal, empathetic, observant. - Favorite weekend activity:
Spending time with family or friends. I do a lot of different activities that I find on Groupon; I enjoy the deals for activities that I wouldn’t normally think to do. It keeps things interesting. - Favorite travel destination:
I love Curacao, one of the ABC Islands (Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao), which are all part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the three most western islands of the Leeward Antilles. - One interesting or fun fact about you: I ran track for 20 years of my life and once set school records in high school and college for the 300 m, 500 m and 800 m runs. I have also been to the Junior Olympics twice.
