Born and raised in Chicago, Danielle’s outgoing personality and unceasing ambition has helped her maintain an active presence in the entertainment industry since the age of 17, when she secured her first internship at Chicago’s #1 hit radio station, B96. From there, she worked consistently, landing notable positions in news and media: ABC 7’s “Windy City LIVE”, WLS radio’s “Roe and Roeper”, FOX47, NBC15, and CelebTV. Danielle graduated as a double major in Radio, TV, & Film and Political Science from University of Wisconsin-Madison.
As her blog, Pop Politics demonstrates, Danielle’s wide-ranging pop culture knowledge and political proficiency (seriously—she can tell you where Katy Perry went to dinner last night in the same breath that she updates you on the situation in the Middle East) is not the most impressive thing about her. What really makes Danielle stand out in today’s media landscape is her sincerity, putting others at ease instantly. She loves nothing more than a meaningful conversation, a contagious laugh, and a great story.
