Her Interview

Ten minutes with Danielle

01What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?

Just be the force that you are. Don't let anyone make you feel like you're not there, that you shouldn't be there. I know a lot of women go through imposter syndrome... Use your voice. Speak up.

02What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?

A lot of my research is not politically acceptable at the time. Being able to feel comfortable in your research, and getting it published... Since I live in Texas, there's a lot of restraints... Conservative spot at Texas.
