After graduating she found work with Friendship House as a Technical Support Analyst. She has developed websites and databases for several non-profits in the area including EOTC and Friendship House.

Denise has a diverse work history including a career as a Carpenter. Her first partial apprenticeship was served with The United Steelworkers as a bridge carpenter and another was completed with the United Brotherhood of Carpenter's Local 261, where she received her Journeyman's Certificate and actively participated for many years.

"I am very interested in learning how to utilize software applications as a tool for increasing business, knowledge and support. I believe the strongest way to accomplish this is to make websites more cost-effective and user-friendly." She is excited to be a part of NEPA and adding a more meaningful marketing focus to her background.
