When Danielle started rock climbing, she saw the need for increasing safe spaces for women and Latinas to be introduced to the sport.
As a Ladies Climbing Coalition ambassador, she started the Atlanta Chapter which has grown to hundreds of local women who love climbing. She’s also a PhD in Pharmacology and MD.
In 2024, Danielle was a Trailblazer and held an Adventure Fundraiser of climbing Mt. Stuart to raise funds for the Summit Scholarship Foundation.
Danielle and Angie talked about:

- Pushing through the barriers of entry to the sport
- How climbing helps Danielle in medicine, and vice versa
- Danielle’s experiences of mentorship, both as a mentor and mentee
- Giving back to the women’s climbing community by becoming a Trailblazer with The Cairn Project
- The strengths that women uniquely have in climbing
