While being the first in her family to attend college, Danielle's life was changed by participating in a TRIO McNair Scholars program for under-supported students interested in graduate studies. As a result of this experience, Danielle developed a passion for serving students with backgrounds like her own, a passion that she fulfills daily in her role with the TRIO Upward Bound Programs.
