ABOUT Danielle

It was serving in the Army Reserve for eight years after high school and time spent at Minnesota State University, Mankato I discovered my passion for the greater Mankato community.

My husband and I reside on our family farm with our three kids and a German Shepard. In my spare time, I enjoy exercising, traveling, and seeking adventure in all areas of my life. Our family enjoys camping in our 1985 Airstream motorhome and exploring new parks in the area.

FOR FUN

The best piece of advice I've ever been given: It makes no difference how many peaks you reach if there was no pleasure in the climb. Forgiveness is giving up the hope that the past could have been any different. So go ahead.

My favorite inspirational quote is “Everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occur while you are climbing it." – Andy Rooney

The most important thing I learned in college: Take the time to define your own path. Too quickly we can find the world defining it for us.
