Biography

Danielle’s love for pediatrics all started with her own pediatrician, a master at connecting with kids and making doctor visits a breeze. Inspired by this incredible doc, Danielle decided to follow in their footsteps and become a kid-whisperer herself.

With a fresh physiology degree from UCLA, Danielle was at a crossroads, unsure of her next move. Luckily, some family friends gave her a golden suggestion: become a nurse practitioner. And let’s just say, she’s super glad she took their advice!

With a renewed sense of purpose, Danielle packed her bags and headed to Yale School of Nursing to pursue a master’s program. With determination and a dash of East Coast hustle, she successfully earned her RN and MSN degrees, officially marking the beginning of her career as a pediatric nurse practitioner.

For the past few years, Danielle has been having a blast in primary care and pediatric urgent care. She’s got a knack for connecting with little ones, making even the most apprehensive patient feel at ease. Her secret? A little laughter, a generous dose of stickers, and a whole lot of genuine care. Her dedication to creating a comfy and supportive environment for her patients makes every visit a positive and memorable experience.

Becoming a mom has given Danielle a whole new appreciation for pediatrics. Experiencing visits from the other side, she knows how much even a quick sick visit can impact a child. This experience has made her even more committed to making every visit count by building relationships, creating fun experiences, and taking exceptional care of her patients.

Around the office, Danielle is known as the resident plant and family photo enthusiast. And with the recent arrival of her baby girl, her camera roll and heart have never been fuller! Danielle’s other trademarks include a playful sense of humor, witty banter, and long, rambling stories that will have you clutching your sides in laughter.

When she’s not nurturing her plant babies or her adorable little one, Danielle enjoys quality time with her hubby, cheering on UCLA sports, traveling the world for new adventures, exploring Oregon’s natural beauty, and checking out local breweries and restaurants. Despite her love for bread, Tillamook ice cream will forever hold a special spot in her freezer!
