From the time she could hold a #2 pencil through pounding the keyboard at Michigan State University, Danielle did NOT enjoy writing. It was only several years ago, when this Michigan native needed a creative outlet that could travel with her, that she finally fell in love with the written word. After years of zealous hobby writing, in October 2018, she began writing monthly articles for Summit Hill Living magazine, and in summer 2019, she joined the writing team at Twincitiesmomsblog.com. Her work has also been featured in Das Auto and Minnesota Parent magazines. In 2022, she became a staff writer at Midwest Yoga + Life magazine. She also writes for health, wellness, and law blogs. She is currently working on her first children’s picture book on discovering intuition.

In addition to writing articles, Danielle has written many scripts for product presentations and public relations for Volkswagen. She has also worked as on-camera talent for the brand and others, including Hyundai, Honda Power tools, Manitou Pontoons, Pops Diabetes Care, Harris Medical Resources, 24/7 Open House, and Cambridge Nanny Group.

After more than a decade in Chicago, in 2017, Danielle settled in Saint Paul, MN with her husband, 2 sons, and a 75 lbs. mutt. She believes Minnesota is one of the “best-kept secrets,” but she’s terrible at keeping it. She'll share how great Minnesota is with anyone willing to listen. 

When Danielle isn’t writing, she runs…a lot. She logs 20+ miles/week and ran her first marathon (Twin Cities marathon) in October 2019. She also enjoys reading, hiking, and practicing meditation, yoga + mindfulness.
