Client Experience Coordinator, Marketing Lead

Danica graduated in Social Services from Sheridan College. She completed placements at Youth Assisting Youth and in Childhood Education in multiple childcare centres. Ever since high school Danica has loved working with children, whether that be face to face or behind the scenes. Danica has always had an interest in working in a paediatric setting but never had an opportunity until finding Butterfly. Danica loves being around positive individuals who are also passionate about helping children. She finds fulfillment in seeing happy families and knowing she can enhance their experience from behind the desk. Some fun facts about Danica:

If Danica could teleport anywhere in the world, she would go to South Korea, Spain and Japan.
Time travel would be Danica’s superpower.
The one thing Danica can not live without is music, she listens to music 24/7, loves playing instruments and singing!
