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.
IslandWood acknowledges that we live and work on the ancestral land of the Coast Salish people, who have been stewards of this region's land and waters since time immemorial, and who continue to protect these lands and waters for future generations, as promised by the Point Elliott Treaty of 1855, the Treaty of Point No Point of 1855, and the Treaty of Medicine Creek of 1854.
While the majority of our work takes place on Suquamish (suq̀ʷabš) and Duwamish (dxʷdɐwʔabʃ) land, we also conduct programs on the land of the Snohomish (sduhúbʃ), Puyallup (spuyaləpabš), Muckleshoot (buklshuhls), Skokomish (sqoqc’bes), and S’Klallam (nəxʷsƛ̕ay̕əm) peoples.
