Danielle Garland, a Middlebury Institute Student, is pursuing a dual degree MBA/IPD here in Monterey. Ms. Garland worked on a research study at Gathering for Women this past summer as a research coordinator. I had the pleasure of conversing with her about that study and drew vital insights from personal moments Danielle shared with women in the Monterey community affected by homelessness. I look forward to you hearing her story as we discuss the narratives created through statistics, challenges of her research, and the power of compassion & empathy.
