“Danielle’s been holding down the fashion beat with ease, she really takes the time to really develop a story and she's always on deadline,” said arts editor Mickey Woods. “I can't say enough about this girl. Her writing style is clear, concise and great for feature stories, and MJ and I couldn't be more proud. She's truly a star in her own right.”

What are your interests?
“Writing, volleyball, martial arts, foreign lands and languages, killer boots, caffeinated beverages.”

My favorite story I’ve written so far...
“I had a great time talking to author Tucker Max for Weekend. He wasn’t afraid to be obnoxiously profane.”

My favorite IDS memory...
“Laughing hysterically with my IDS comrades. It’s not conducive to newsroom productivity, but we have awesome times.”

My favorite part about working at the IDS...
“Under the pressure of frequent deadlines, I improve as a writer and grow as a person. Plus, I have new and exciting adventures daily.”

I would tell students hesitant about working at the IDS that...
“The IDS is like a family away from home. You receive boundless support, constructive criticism and genuine friendship.”
