Hi! I’m Danielle: a Brooklyn-based (but LA-raised!) writer, editor, and digital content strategist with nearly a decade of experience covering health, wellness, beauty, culture, and lifestyle. Previously a Beauty Editor at Glamour, I’ve transitioned to full-time freelance, writing and editing for brands like Marie Claire, Bustle, Parade, SheKnows, StyleCaster, The Independent, Teen Vogue, and more.
I hold a Master’s in Journalism from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism, where my thesis examined how TikTok, Instagram filters, and editing apps are transforming the beauty industry and driving a rise in cosmetic procedures among young women, and an MFA in Nonfiction Creative Writing from The New School.
