Profile

Danielle’s comfort in front of the camera, fun-loving personality, and writing and producing abilities are what’s made this Miss USA finalist and former NFL Cheerleader a hot commodity in the world of entertainment!  A highly engaging host and personality, Danielle continues expanding her career and developing new projects.  Currently you can see Danielle as a correspondent and segment producer for “AXS Live” airing weekly on AXS TV, where she covers all the top entertainment events, celebrity interviews, and movie and music news.  In addition, you’ll find Danielle covering the world of sports for “Universal Sports” and keeping you up to date on what’s trending in technology, food, and fashion on “Trends With Benefits” on TBS.  Danielle is also widely known as a Vegas expert.  This lead her to host the long running, syndicated “Vegas Minute”, where she covered the most exclusive Sin City locations and entertainment news.  Danielle has also appeared on NBC’s “Extra”, TV Guide Network’s “Hollywood 411”, is a regular panelist on “The Gossip Queens” on Logo Network, and a regular contributor for “Epix News” produced by Lionsgate Entertainment.  Additionally, Danielle has been featured in roles on “CSI: Miami” on CBS, “Saving Grace” on TNT, “Blue Lagoon” on LifeTime, and in a starring role on the weekly, comedic, web-series, “LA Social"

Danielle was the host of the official, live, red carpet pre-show for the 15th Annual and 19th Annual SAG Awards.  The show aired to a live audience on TNT and TBS as she chatted with all the biggest stars and nominees.  Danielle’s love of adventure led her to work with iconic director, James Cameron, hosting the highly rated preview of Cameron’s documentary, "Last Mysteries of the Titanic", on Discovery Channel.  And Danielle worked with Nick Cannon co-hosting “GM Style”, a TV special introducing the newest and hottest in cars, fashion, and music.

As the daughter of a professional athlete, Danielle grew up playing sports and is a self-professed sports nut!  This made her a perfect fit to co-host KTAR radio's weekly show, “Around The NFL”, and work as a courtside reporter with the Phoenix Suns for two consecutive seasons.  Danielle is also a popular face in the world of poker, hosting "Three Card Poker Championship" for the Game Show Network.  And she hosted the biggest poker tournament in the world, "The World Series of Poker", for ESPN360.com covering all 58 WSOP events.

Raised in Chandler, Arizona, Danielle attended the prestigious Walter Cronkite School at Arizona State University, where she graduated with a degree in Broadcast Journalism.  While attending ASU, Danielle’s 15 years of dance training led her to the NFL, where she became an NFL Cheerleader for the Arizona Cardinals.  Throughout her 4 years with the team, she performed in front of thousands at nationally televised NFL games and was featured in the Cardinals annual swimsuit calendars.  Danielle’s gift for dance also landed her a spot on the professional USO Dance Team.  This allowed Danielle to travel and perform internationally with the USO for American troops stationed in Germany, Switzerland, Bosnia, Kosovo, and many other locations around the world.

The camera has always loved Danielle, having modeled for the FORD Agency since the age of 15, she’s graced the pages of various magazines.  But Danielle’s national television debut came when she won the title of Miss Arizona USA and went on to become a semi-finalist in the internationally televised Miss USA Pageant that same year.  As Miss Arizona, Danielle was able to use her high profile and production expertise to complete a personal venture.  As a literacy advocate, Danielle wrote, hosted, directed, and produced an educational video on literacy, entitled "A Journey of Gifts”.  The video has been implemented into countless elementary school systems and is the signature video for the Arizona Literacy and Learning Center.  Be sure to check back on her official website for the most recent updates!
