About Danielle
A leader who pairs Army discipline with advocate's heart.
A Mission-Driven Advocate
I'm a dedicated U.S. Army veteran, certified victim advocate, and mission-driven leader with 20+ years of experience in SHARP (Sexual Harassment/Assault Response & Prevention), public affairs, human resources, and strategic communications. I've spent my career protecting people — whether that's service members, vulnerable populations, or civilian employees — and I bring that same commitment to every role I take on.
As a former U.S. Army Captain, I served as a Chief Public Affairs Officer advising Joint Task Force commanders, managed HR programs for battalions of 775+ soldiers, and led multidisciplinary teams across CONUS and OCONUS environments. I hold a Top Secret security clearance and am fully prepared for high-demand OCONUS assignments including Korea, Europe, and the Middle East.
