Her leadership responsibilities include the execution of firm strategy, support of personnel, and, ultimately, an exceptional client experience. Dannell is a nationally featured panelist in both live and online wealth management forums, has contributed personal finance articles to various publications, and has taught courses and workshops on investments and planning.

Dannell has been recognized more than once by Pacific Coast Business Times as one of the Top 50 Women in Business and was also the Editor’s Pick for Business and Finance in 2015.
