Danielle is a Wenatchee transplant since 2016. Her family moved to Wenatchee and they all fell in love with the small-town charm. Danielle learned the importance of working hard and supporting other small businesses. When she's not working on helping local businesses in the Wenatchee area, you can find Danielle with her nose in a good book, breaking up fights between her three kids, watching True Crime documentaries, or on the softball diamond.
