During Semester at Sea, she studied international business and visited 11 countries while on the program. After she graduated from UCLA, she moved back to the San Francisco Bay Area.

The Internet was still in its infancy, but she was excited by the dot com boom in San Francisco. She did some networking in SF and met an entrepreneur named Steve. She worked with Steve for several years, helping him raise over $17 million dollars of funding for his Internet start-up, Qool Media.

After the SFSU program, Danielle was then recruited to be the Director of Marketing for The Loan Guys, based in Santa Cruz, California. Danielle loves the beach, so she was excited to help put the company, a boutique real estate firm, on the map. After much market research, she repositioned the company from a company focused on refinance, to a real estate investment and real estate equity management company. She and her team relaunched the company as a new Real Estate company focused on rental income generating properties. Danielle was in charge of using CRM (Customer Relationship Management) software and marketing automation tools to create solid relationships with the company’s large pool of clients. She also was responsible for the website relaunch, creating and writing a company blog, daily and weekly email campaigns, TV commercials, print, and postcard direct mail, and purchasing online leads. While at Equity Advisors, Danielle managed a relationship with Sotheby’s International Realty, which resulted in the company she worked with acquiring 68 acres of prime land coastal ocean view land in Santa Cruz County. She also helped close an $11 million dollar deal.
After over four years with Equity Advisors, Danielle decided to work with a large Silicon Valley brand. Danielle then worked for Yahoo, based in Sunnyvale, CA, and then worked for Realtor.com also headquartered in Silicon Valley.
After that, she then began working diligently with the start-up MonsterGardens.com. The company is an e-commerce company, which is one of the largest sellers of gardening products on the Internet!
The CEO of MonsterGardens.com came to Danielle with a small eBay business and asked her to help build the MonsterGardens.com web platform. Working with the team, Danielle created a variety of customer acquisition tactics including email campaigns, SEO, SEM, banner ads, Google AdWords, and AdRoll (on banner ad retargeting). She also created a comprehensive YouTube strategy. The YouTube strategy has been wildly successful, with now over 300 “how to garden” videos.
