Early in her career, Danae utilized her Kinesiology degree to secure a position at a local hospital, serving as a Rehabilitation Physical Therapy Assistant.

Danae has completed NRA approved courses and learned the safe handling of firearms so that her gun-owning clients can rest confidently that these items are being properly secured.

Danae has been executing the duty of a fiduciary throughout her career, seeking to put her clients first and giving them the ability to act independently whenever possible. When asked why she became a Professional Fiduciary, she replied, “People deserve dignity, honesty, and highly skilled professionals to serve them well. As a CLPF, I am committed to doing everything in my power to provide this to my clients.”

She loves animals of all kinds (except spiders) and has a deep place in her heart for making sure they are well cared for when owners are no longer able to support their pet’s needs. She is very close with her family and is the proud mother of two adult daughters.
