Background

Annette joined the Development Counsellors International account coordination team in December 2004. Prior to joining the company, she had 15 years of customer relations and finance experience. For nearly three years in her position as "Ambassador of First Impressions," Annette used her great personality, positive work attitude and value of teamwork to serve her well as she greeted and helped host DCI clients - and worked to make their marketing campaigns a success. Since then, Annette has tackled a new responsibility as accounts payable coordinator for the DCI finance team.

Annette's Passion for Places

With her Army veteran husband, Paul, Annette has gotten to see a large part of the United States, as she visited and stayed at Army bases, from Queens, New York, to Washington, D.C., during her husband's training. There, she met people from all over the world, from all walks of life. Annette enjoyed getting to know these individuals and becoming close to their families, if even just for a weekend. She and her husband also relish traveling for vacation, including trips to London and cruises to Cozumel, the Cayman Islands and New Orleans. 

Annette's absolute favorite thing about working with DCI clients from all over the globe? Hearing their accents - of any kind - but especially "distinguished" British accents!
