Danielle grew up in Philadelphia and went to Helene Fuld School of Nursing and Drexel University for her Bachelors in the Science of nursing.  She moved to Mickleton, NJ in 2010 and became an active member of the Witches of East Greenwich in 2012 and a CoCaptain in 2017. Danielle loves exercising, running, setting goals, the summer and spending time with her husband and two children, Christian and Oliva.

To know Danielle is to know a person full of passion and determination. Ever since working as a Neonatal Nurse and caring for the most vulnerable populations, Danielle has embraced the “we can do this” attitude and has never back down from a challenge. She brings that same passion and attitude to the Wicked Warriors of East Greenwich organization. After Danielle stepped away from her career as a nurse to focus on family, she worked to better herself physically and mentally and started a personal training business.  Danielle loves to inspire others through healthy living and fitness and works to support and guide others to become the best version of themselves either by encouraging a newcomer to take their first spin class or running side by side with a friend to assist them in reaching their goal. 

Danielle’s goals for the future are to continue to grow and strive to better herself, return to her career in nursing and continue to empower and support women through the Wicked Warriors of East Greenwich Organization.
