Dani has lived in the Mankato area for the last 7 years. Dani is a mother of two and a disabled U.S. Army Veteran. Dani holds multiple degrees including an Associates of Arts in Education from Pierce Community College in Washington State and a Bachelor of Science in Social Work from Minnesota State, Mankato. Prior to joining Project Success in 2024, Dani worked for the state supporting students and adults with disabilities to gain skills, education and experiences that helped them to reach their employment goals.
Dani believes in community, advocacy, service, and the growth that comes from opportunity. These beliefs encouraged her to get more involved volunteering over the last 4 years with local representatives in her area and she has learned so much about the strengths of her community. Dani is grateful to have this opportunity to support the students and their families in Mankato.
Outside of work Dani loves to travel and has enjoyed biking, hiking, paddle boarding and exploring Minnesota with her kids and their dog.
