A member of Rotary since 2012, Danielle recently co-founded The Amal Alliance in Alexandria, Virginia with Dr. Rose Cardarelli (Ed.

The nonprofit organization aims to help displaced children at refugee camps and informal settlements across the world through education and stress reduction/integration programs. The hands-on, in-the-field organization utilizes local teachers, facilitators and volunteers from the community and around the globe to serve and help empower the displaced. They partner with like-minded humanitarian organizations and local host communities to provide programs within or near the camps for several hours per day, five days a week.
