customer testimonials

Denise has presented her laid back but effective approach on digital wellness to audiences of all sizes and ranging in ages from 5 years old to seniors. She is able to connect with people on effectively by putting them at ease and recognizing that each one of us comes at this issue with a different perspective. Read what our actual clients have to say about Denise and her workshops.
  • "Sometimes you need to nudge staff to supervise school assemblies but not when Denise was with us. Her ability to speak “tweenager” about social media with such fluency had us all on the edge of our seats. She enlightened us, scared us and ultimately gave us hope. She is current, relatable and real."
    -Alison Serino
    Principal, Wesltand Middle School Bethesda
  • "Thanks, Denise, for recently running two great sessions with Somerset Elementary School. The assembly for the kids was a huge success. They learned a great deal and you really held their attention - no mean feat with a large, young, squiggly group! And the presentation to parents that night also was very beneficial. It is great to be able to use the same language at home that the kids are getting at school to reinforce these important online usage and safety practices. Thanks again; looking forward to having you back!"
    -Gillian Edick
    Somerset ES PTA President
  • "I had Denise speak in Williamsport. I was amazed at all the information she presented to our audience. I would highly recommend her program to any youth groups or adults."
    -Carolyn Miele
    Founder, Saving Lives for Zachary
  • "Denise DeRosa delivered a practical, timely and wise presentation to our parents. She understands that parents and educators need to mentor children in this area just as we guide them on other issues. Her advice is user-friendly, practical and engaging. We are so appreciative that she addressed our parent community."
    -Phyllis Fagell
    School Counselor, Sheridan School
  • "Thank you so much for coming and sharing your wisdom and positive message about technology and connected living. Our parents and students felt they had learned something new. For our students, hearing the message from someone other than their teachers helps to reinforce the message we are all wanting to share. I especially appreciated your message to adults of monitoring and modeling and discussion."
    -Margaret Haviland
    Assistant Head for Faculty and Programs, Westtown School
  • "We can’t thank Denise enough for talking to our family about how to be a smart user of smart technology. My 12 and 14 year old both learned a lot about making good choices now before it’s too late. I wish all parents and their kids could have the opportunity to listen to Denise talk about being cyber sensible! It’s invaluable!!"
    -Julie
    Iowa, Cyber Sensible Family Client
  • "Thank you so much for your wonderful work and for the meaningful connection with our girls. After the workshop my daughter and I were able to talk for over an hour about online safety and to make some decisions that she felt were to her benefit as well. It was extremely useful for all of us."
    -Rosa Aurora
    Parent, Attendee to Private Group Workshops for Parents and Tween Girls
  • "Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge at Community NETwork eSTEAM Summit. Your service touched the lives of nearly 60 young adults who reminded us why we started on this journey and further motivated us to take it to the next step. This event could not have been as successful without your help and we hope you will join us again."
    -Latya Taylor
    Lead Financial Analyst, Global Business- Public Sector Solutions. CNAATP President - Nation’s Capital Chapter, CNAATP National Director of Professional Development
  • "Denise, of Cyber Sensible, did a wonderful job of presenting and explaining to parents the world of social media that engages our teenagers. She explained how the various apps work, which apps should be avoided, and how to adjust privacy and safety settings for the ones they use. Her common sense approach emphasized the need for using good parenting skills to create communication channels between parent and teens to ensure that missteps are avoided, practices that are inappropriate, and handling of how many friends are allowed. Her sound, practical advice was to empower our teenagers to use social media responsibly, monitor and regulate their use and understand how to use social media to build a positive profile that will be useful when applying to colleges and future employers."
    -Joe Busch
    PTSA President, Walt Whitman High School
  • "Thank you for your outstanding contributions to last night’s Choose Civility Symposium . You were a terrific addition to the panel. Your comments were timely, insightful, and inspiring – and delivered expertly! I appreciated the opportunity to thank you personally after the presentation."
    -Valerie J. Gross
    MM, MLS, JD, President & CEO, Howard County Library System
  • "I thought Wednesday went very well. I’ve had parents tell me how much they enjoyed the discussion and how much they learned. Others told me they felt your manner was very approachable and they thought it was perfect for our community. So thank you!"
    -Maria Monteverde-Jackson
    Director of Events and Community Relations, Washington Waldorf School
  • "Thank you all for putting together the excellent program on Tuesday night. It was very informative & the speakers were so approachable that it fostered a great dialogue among the parents."
    -Lyric W. Winik
    Somerset Elementary School PTA
  • "The Digital Parenting for 21st Century Families seminar that Denise presented at the Howard County Library System was thoroughly enlightening and educational. Denise expertly defined what parents should be on the look out for as well as what they might not need to worry about so much, thoughtfully answered all of our questions, and provided a wealth of excellent advice on managing the use of technology in the home."
    -Alli Jessing
    Events & Seminars Manager, Howard County Library System
  • "Thanks again for doing such a great job last night! The Digital Parenting presentation was detailed and broad and exactly what we were hoping for. It also served as a great vehicle for airing some of the concerns we have as parents that the school may be able to help us with. I also appreciate that you were able to stay and keep answering so many questions. I hope we might have you back again in a few years when we have a new crop of parents and a changing set of challenges. Thanks again!"
    -Dominic Benford
    PTSA President, Cabin John Middle School
  • "Denise came to Avon Grove Charter School this year during National Digital Citizenship week to speak with our students and parents regarding online safety, digital distractions, positive social media presence, and ways they can be good stewards of their technology. She is extremely knowledgable and relatable. Our parents loved the tools and tips she provided regarding way to keep their children safe online and students left her workshops armed with the knowledge to be positive digital citizens. I highly recommend Denise for any school or community event."
