What her students say:

-"Danielle was an excellent instructor. She was great at explaining difficult concepts, and her level of expertise is obvious with every class she teaches. She gave great feedback and insights throughout the course." -PDMR student

-"She is a naturally guide through complex, and often abstract, concepts. Her real world experience in product was valuable as her anecdotes often provided me with "lightbulb moments". I often found myself only understanding concepts at a surface level, but through in-class conversations, Danielle's experience helped me gain a deeper learning. I really enjoyed connecting with Danielle 1:1 towards the end of the course for feedback and discussion. I felt she understood where I was at in terms of overall understanding of the course material. Not only that, it was a great opportunity to discuss my learning in action now and in the future." - PDMR student
