meet dani lichliter! she’s the marketing manager for magoosh grad products (think gre and gmat), and a brand new member of our team. we’re very excited to for you to get to know her, so we’ve put together this special q&a so you can find out what this fantastic new magoosher is all about. take it away, dani!

q: what has been your favorite part about working at magoosh so far?
