She taught secondary school English, theatre and public speaking before joining the Development and Alumni Relations Office at her alma mater. In 1989 she was named the executive director of the Northwestern University Alumni Association, a title she decorated with several national awards for excellence in writing and fundraising.
McDaniel later relocated to Florida to pursue her writing. When she's not hiking the mountains of North Carolina or watching for manatees on the Santa Fe River, McDaniel can be found relaxing with her husband and two dogs at her Gainesville home.voir moins
