She has also served as a federally appointed member of the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee of the National Institutes of Health.

Denise has received numerous local and national honors for her civic contributions and business accomplishments. She graduated cum laude from ASU, where she received a Bachelor of Science in business administration. Her adult son Matt, who has autism, and others with different abilities inspire her work.

The ASU undergraduate and graduate Commencement ceremonies will take place Monday, Dec. 11, 2023. Please check graduation.asu.edu for updates and details about additional ceremonies you are invited to attend.
