Getting to Know Danielle
The biography above details Danielle’s professional qualifications and experience. Now it’s time to get to know Danielle, the person. Danielle reveals a few cozier insights about herself in the questions below.
1. If you won a trip to anywhere in the world, where would you go, and why?
I would go to Scotland because both my husband and I, and therefore my children, have roots there. I would love to see the bogs, heather, mountains, and castles, and feel the history of the land.
2. If you could be a super hero, who would it be? Or have a super power, what would it be, and why?
Green Arrow® because he has no special power, but still effects change in the world.
3. Tell me a song that when you hear it, you always get a smile on your face.
“Black Water” by The Doobie Brothers because it reminds me of my father, and “Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy” by Big & Rich just because.
4. What do you order at Starbucks®?
Grande Carmel Macchiato with skim milk and no whip.
5. What is your favorite meal and why?
My sister’s southern breakfast of sausage gravy, eggs, dark coffee, and buttermilk biscuits made from scratch. It is decadent, delicious, and I don’t have to cook it!
6. What are two of your favorite Web sites, and why?
Google™ because it is so easy and quick, and myfamily.com since my family is scattered and through it we can share photos, news, and plan reunions.
