Pronouns: she/her/hers

 

If you are trying to find Danielle, outside is the place to look. Growing up in Cleveland Ohio Danielle saw firsthand how the communities she was a part of impacted her favorite place ever- Lake Erie. This experience has given Danielle a passion for environmental justice and has led her to take these complicated issues to Seattle’s classrooms. As an Urban Programs Educator, she uses our natural surroundings and real-world challenges to inspire curiosity and confidence in students and communities.

 

Since graduating in 2021 Danielle has worked as a Park Ranger for Kirkland, as a Recreation Specialist at Farrel McWhirter Farm, and as a Zoomazium Instructor at Woodland Park Zoo. Some of her favorite things to do outside of a classroom include finding fungi and slime molds on hikes, painting, and learning more about the beautiful species and scenery Washington State has to offer. Danielle’s adventure with IslandWood has just begun, and she can’t wait to see where it will take her.
