With large hypnotic eyes, and a decided doll-like quality, she has been compared to an imp, but she also has an unnerving poise. Danielle was born and raised in Chicago where she got her acting bug at an early age training at the Piven Theater in Evanston. She has a B.F.A in acting with Honors from The Theatre School at DePaul University. Before moving to Hollywood, Danielle made her mark on the Chicago professional theater scene where she had the privilege of working with directors from the Goodman Theater, performing with the Improv troupe at the Piven Theater, and working with the Illinois Theater Center. Danielle can be seen in commercials, features, and the award winning shorts, "Swimming" and "The River on Randolph Street" and in a few episodes of Everybody Hates Chris where she had the honor of working with Chris Rock, Ali Leroi, Debbie Reynolds, and Jason Alexander.

She is a founding member of "Because It's There Theatre Collaboration" as well as having her own venture "The Birdcage" where she encourages actors to come together and voice the words/characters of writers.

When she is not acting, she can be seen in her designer consignment boutique, Couture Zen, encouraging people to look great.
