About Next Level Networking

 Co-owner of Bellevida Design, a residential architecture firm, Danielle understands the plate spinning you do as a business owner and the value of an entrepreneur’s time— that what you invest in yourself needs to bring a return. Networking is one of those vital time investments. 

When Danielle partnered in business with her architect husband, Jeremy, in 2018, she joined a BNI chapter to boost their marketing efforts. Immersing herself in business trainings offered by the organization, within two short months of joining, she fearlessly quit her corporate job, seeing that the power of connection would take their business far. During her first year with BNI, Danielle rose in ranks from Ambassador to Director Consultant to her chapter’s President and the Eastern Hillsborough chapters’ Area Director.

Growing up an Army brat, Danielle learned to connect quickly as she moved all over the world. As an adult, she settled in Northern Virginia for 19 years before moving to the Tampa Bay area with her family in 2015. Danielle feels blessed to have had a successful corporate career and entrepreneurial journey collectively spanning 25 years across operations, marketing, IT, customer service, strategic planning, and management. 

Her corporate and entrepreneurial career roles have equipped her as an energetic, engaging, and expert public speaker and presenter. Danielle is passionate about showing new or experienced business owners with effective and current ways to achieve networking success. 

Through Next Level Networking, she shares tools and strategies that give networkers the assurance that the time they dedicate to building connections will yield dynamic results.

When she is not speaking or networking Bellevida Design, Danielle can be found laughing with friends at a coffee shop, hanging out at home, or out in the Florida sunshine with her husband, their four daughters, and their two grandchildren.
