Aspire's Executive Team

Danielle opened Aspire Employment in 2013, in 2016 she expanded into the Barberton office. Now, in 2021 she has branched out into Medical and Janitorial Staffing with VPL Solutions. Danielle is an LPN with a true “Clara Barton Heart”. She serves on the Board of Directors for the Ohio Veteran Memorial in Clinton Ohio and volunteers with several other community organizations. She is proud to be the recipient of the 2018 Summit South Business of the Year Award and the 2020 Open M Unsung Hero Award. Aspire has forged their way to the top of not only this region but surrounding regions and today provide over 1,000 employees annually by providing unsurpassed customer service to their clients and unprecedented support to their associates.

 Danielle makes sure her team takes the time to learn and understand each client’s  culture and match candidates who will propel their work force demands forward to meet both short-term and long-term needs. Aspire prides itself on the attention they give to their associates, their unique approach uses the Whole Life/ Person Centered Model. This approach has been incorporated into both Aspire’ and VPL’s business model. The team meets candidates where they are at and go the extra mile to assist them with any barriers they may need to overcome to have long-term successful, permanent employment. They collaborate with local community resources for hurdles such as childcare, transportation and treatment, to name only a few. They offer associates peer support and advocacy in many areas, reverse recruiting for higher skill levels, career path development when needed and overall moral support. This not only creates a feeling of inclusion, respect and appreciation but also gives the associate a higher level of accountability to provide the clients where they are placed with a dedicated worker, creating higher retention rates. 

Aspire is most proud of the success this model has shown with their efforts in second chance employment through re-entry and re-integration collaborations. They have positions for all who are dedicated to work and will work hard to open doors for those who sometimes cannot for themselves. Their motto is “We inspire and empower because we rise by lifting others”. The entire team can and do share amazing stories of strength and perseverance themselves.
