This campus was a great success and has enabled many students to complete their high school education instead of dropping out.  In conjunction with all the activities she does for students in the school system, she has been a volunteer for the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo Horse Show Committee for the past 20 years. 

Danielle and her husband of almost 29 years Philip, have two beautiful children who attend John Marshall and A & M.  As a result of her children’s interests in sports, and her own love of the outdoors, Danielle became a member of the park commission in June of 2018. 

Having lived in Leon Valley most of her life, Danielle is fully vested in doing what is right for our citizens (her neighbors).  She sincerely wants Leon Valley to be the safe, loving community that she was raised in.
