Danielle hails from the East Coast. Born in New Jersey, but raised in Virginia. She found her passion for veterinary medicine after attending college at Virginia Tech where history and sociology just were not her thing and she began working as a camp counselor where she taught horseback riding lessons to children and beginner adults. She moved on to be a barn manager and when it was decided that her family was moving to Indiana, she switched from the large animals to small animals and took up an interest in anesthesia, specifically in surgery and dentistry. She worked at a general practice for 10 years before switching over to VCA, starting as a Versa tech, then moving more permanently as one of the advanced imaging technicians where she loves to run anesthesia and wants to learn more about the MRI, CT, and ultrasound. Recently, she became a department supervisor for the ER and ICW department. She hopes to continue her learning and one day get a VTS, but for now working on her work life balance as she lives at home with her ever moving husband named David, daughter Makenna and three sons (Levi, Landon, and Hayden), as well as three dogs, three cats, a Tarantula, Fish, shrimp, and aquatic frogs. Danielle enjoys her busy eventful life and hopes to meet you one day to swap life stories.
