Dani Walpole | Communications Manager and Writer

Hi! I'm Dani Walpole.

I'm a comms manager and media producer from NYC with 9 years of professional experience.

I am currently the Senior Internal Communications Specialist at Environmental Defense Fund.

I'm also:

A certified Project Management Professional (PMP)
Experienced in video production, digital art, and graphic design.
A writer with a background in journalism and online media

In my free time, I work as a matchmaker, play guitar and piano, learn about edible plants, foster rescue dogs, play DND with my friends, paint, sew, craft, and read. I am currently writing a mystery/romance novel while enrolled in the 92Y Novel Generator Program.

If you want to learn more about me, scroll down or check out my resume page.

I work for the Environmental Defense Fund as the Senior Internal Communications Specialist, working with experts on climate, science, politics, HR and environmental justice to communicate stories to 1000+ people. I also serve as editorial director for EDF's daily internal publication, "Insider," and I write and curate our weekly all-staff newsletter. I also do a lot of tech-y project mangement, and operations work.

I recently helped found EDF's first Disability-focused ERG.

In the last few years, I have been a Digital Editorial Director at multiple online outlets and a writer for Reader's Digest and other publications. I was an entertainment writer and copyeditor at the New Paltz Oracle and a staff editor and social media strategist for The Teller Magazine. I love stories that require a lot of research and lead me down research rabbit-holes. I enjoy writing profiles, reviewing lit and entertainment, and reporting on all things interesting. In my free time, I write fiction.
