"Hi there!

My name is Danielle, and I am an enthusiastic teacher! I recently moved back to Leavenworth, WA, after having earned my Master of Science in Biology at Boise State University. During that time, I earned a graduate fellowship with the National Science Foundation, that focused on teaching scientists to convey science concepts to non-science audiences.

I also am an herbalist, cook, German-speaker, and musician! I play flute and oboe and have taken cooking classes in macrobiotics, ayurvedic pracitices, and nutrition. I am also an avid Yogi, and have been practicing and teaching yoga for 10 years. One is never to old to learn a new skill, so please feel free to contact me with any questions!
