While Danielle formally joined Whitney & Company in 2016, her experience with the firm dates back to high school. She would come into the office on weekends then, and do a variety of tasks to help her father, Bill Shaheen. As a young adult, she ventured off into the legal profession as a court stenographer before she found her way back. And that experience in another field has served her well.

Today, she manages the firm’s SEC compliance matters—something her legal background has come in handy with. She helps the firm navigate new laws and new directives from the SEC, so the firm is clear on how new measures may affect Whitney & Company. Danielle is also a Notary and is pursuing her IAACP, a professional Compliance Certification. She attended Alfred State College to pursue a degree in Court Stenography.

Paperwork can be overwhelming for people, and Danielle prides herself on making it easier to manage. It’s how she does her part to contribute to an overall culture of mutual support and collaboration at Whitney & Company, ultimately putting clients’ minds at ease.

Outside of work, Danielle enjoys reading and spending time with her fiancé and her two children, including watching her son play basketball and soccer.
