Danielle Filip
Danielle learned to sign as a child but did not see a career in interpreting until later. Raised bilingually with deaf grandparents, Danielle attributes her passion for the field to them. A certified interpreter by trade since 2010, Danielle holds the RID NIC-Advanced and PA AOPC Court Interpreter certifications. After graduating from Washington and Jefferson College with a BA in Business, Danielle aspired to work in the Public Sector as an ADA Coordinator, wanting to improve access for people with disabilities. Interning in the role with the City of Pittsburgh allowed her to realize that the private sector was a better fit for her skills and ambition. She obtained her MBA in Leadership and Organizational Transformation from Chatham University to enhance her skills while driving change in the marketplace. With these credentials and a desire to make Pittsburgh better for others, Danielle joined SLIP as an office assistant. She is now Owner and Chief Operations Officer focusing on the company’s strategy and vision and manages its daily operations and administration, ensuring SLIP remains current in the marketplace. A powerhouse professional, she is a 2021 “Pittsburgh Magazine” 40 Under 40 Honoree. It is her mission to ensure quality communication access to the Deaf community. She has taken the national conference stage at Street Leverage Live and Accelerate and has interpreted several large-scale live and televised events, including Hillary Clinton’s 2015 campaign kickoff.
