As a respected Army Veteran, Danielle can relate to the challenges many military families might face, such as deployment and the impact it can have on the family unit. In her first book Cryin’ Out Loud, she uses her wisdom to speak to the underlined emotions of any child of a soldier who has experienced the effects of separation anxiety.
In her sophomore book, “Let Go My Glucose – Winning with Diabetes,” she pens her journey back to a healthier Danielle, before receiving the diagnosis that changed her life. This journey has helped Danielle discover her purpose of education and advocacy through literature and advocacy.
In her newest book, “Diabetes Made Better,” Danielle reminds us that diabetes isn’t a death sentence! With just a few alternative lifestyle adjustments, you can still maintain an active and abundant life. This book serves as a roadmap, offering guidance and inspiration to everyone who reads it. The answer to living with diabetes is written in these pages, and Danielle rises to the occasion by being one who is knowledgeable and transparent while supporting others who have their own unique experiences living with this potentially deadly disease.
