Danielle loves mountains and loves mountain people. She grew up chasing her big brother on skis at Mount Hood and jumped at the opportunity to get more time on the snow after graduating college. Colorado has been her home since 2007.

Danielle has been a leader in non-profit organizations for over a decade. From the Crested Butte Land Trust to the Durango Adult Education Center she has invested in organizations with strong missions and amazing teams. Joining the Silverton Avalanche School integrates her professional background and her love of backcountry skiing. She is also a Licensed Social Worker and her practice, Hidden Aspects Counseling, is based in Crested Butte, CO. One of Danielle’s therapeutic passions is supporting survivors of outdoor trauma, such as avalanches and wilderness accidents. 

As an administrator Danielle is focused on supporting employees and students with professionalism, kindness and accountability. She loves an organized spreadsheet and she believes in education born from curiosity and fostered by relationships. When Danielle isn’t working, she is hopefully outside adventuring on my skis, bike, packraft, or feet.
