Danielle has done well in her education in addition to having a great career as a chef. Danielle went to the University of Idaho in 2011 and graduated at the top of her class with a Bachelor's in Exercise Science and Health. She also got minors in Fine Arts, English, and Communication. In the fall of 2018, Danielle left the Palouse to go to Boise State University to get her Master of Business Administration. Here, she learned everything she needed to know about Business Administration, Management, and Operations. For many reasons, her education was a key part of her path to becoming the Executive Chef and Owner of Haute Foods. Danielle was the first person in her family to get a four-year degree from an accredited University. She calls herself a "student of life."
