Despite never having been exposed to circus prior to the age of 16, she decided to drop her academic post secondary pursuit (to her mother's dismay) and run away to the circus. After training obsessively for 3 years alone in her living room and recreationally, she got accepted into the prestigious National Circus School in Montreal. She graduated in 2018 with a specialty in the art of hand balancing. Danielle has gone on to perform for many different shows and events worldwide, working for companies such as GOP Varieté Theatre, Cirque Èloize, Montréal Complètement Cirque, Haut-Vol, Cirque Eos and Radio Canada.
