Outside of work, Danyelle enjoys spending time with her husband, Juan, and their three children. As a family, they love exploring the outdoors, whether that means spending a day at the beach, hiking through the woods, or discovering new places together. Danyelle also enjoys traveling and experiencing different cultures and communities. No matter where their adventures take them, Oregon remains home, where she and her family have built their life and put down roots.
Please join us in welcoming Danyelle to MESD and the Title I-C team.
