Danielle is an award-winning journalist, who was born and raised in Los Alamos. While pursing international studies at the University of New Mexico, she got her first taste for print at the Daily Lobo, and hasn’t stopped since. After graduation, she worked at the Santa Fe New Mexican, first on the copy desk and eventually on general assignment. In 2020, she moved (sight unseen) to the western Nebraska panhandle, covering wildfires, water fights and paved road drama for the Scottsbluff Star-Herald. She then headed for far west Texas, embarking on environment coverage for both sides of the Rio Grande in El Paso.
She returned to writing stories about New Mexico in 2022, first as a freelancer, then full-time staff writer for online publication Source NM. Her work has included a fourteen-part series on the Rio Grande from Colorado through New Mexico and west Texas and breaking news inside the Roundhouse and along roads less traveled. "One of the topics she will address is whether the role journalism plays in society is changing.”
She’s an aspiring skier, avid reader and a martial artist. When not at her desk, she can be found reading at a coffee shop, often with her husband, Justin, or out walking their three rescue dogs.
