I had no idea...

I agree: Danni's dedication to the field of MA is so valuable... I found the site before I ever entered school, and Danni motivated and educated me about becoming an MA. Now, that I'm actually practicing, I still find this site great: it's a place where MAs can chat about the issues that impact our field, and offer/obtain advice and feedback.
Don't know what we would do without ya, Danni...

Are You Working? yes

Seriously, Danni... you are the reason I entered the field.

I remember, years ago, coming across your website (which was SO much different than today), and reading your story about your son. I thought, "This is an amazing woman, with amazing talent!"

I don't know if you remember or not, but I must have written you 20+ e-mails, asking questions about Medical Assisting. You always answered me, and gave me the knowledge I needed to make the decision: to enter a Medical Assisting degree program, and dedicate my life to helping others.

I went through school, started working in the field, and helping people became my life. I was so passionate about it, but I had no one to talk to (my friends weren't exactly eager to hear about my days of drawing blood and taking x-rays of broken bones). That's when I remembered this site. And I've been hooked ever since...

Thanks, again (and again, and again), Danni.
