Danielle discovered CrossFit in 2019 after having baby number 4. She quickly fell in love with the methodology and the uplifting atmosphere. She comes from a multi-sport and fitness background, having grown up in dance and gymnastics, track & field throughout high school, cheerleading through high school and college, and weightlifting beginning in high school into adulthood. With a passion for helping and lifting others, Danielle made the easy decision to earn her CrossFit L1 certificate in October 2025. "The community that CrossFit creates is unlike anything else. Nowhere else will you find strangers cheering you on during a workout or pushing you to be better. It's just infectious." 

When she is not in the gym, she is raising four kids, plus one very active Australian Sheppard. Her family loves traveling and often makes a point of visiting Disneyland every couple of years, as she is a self-proclaimed "Disney Adult". Her love of travel comes from her love of learning, and she is often studying a new topic or teaching herself a new skill. Her hobbies outside of the gym range from sewing and baking to hiking and photography. Two of her mottos she lives by are "Work hard today for a better tomorrow" and "Never give up."
