I am deeply committed to making a positive impact both on campus and in the community, which is why I’m involved in a variety of organizations that align with my passions and values. As a member of Delta Delta Delta, I’m honored to serve as the Assistant Philanthropy Chair, where I help lead initiatives that give back to a cause close to my heart: children’s cancer research. I also serve as the PR Chair for the Red Cross Club, where I’m able to amplify the voice of this life-saving organization and raise awareness about the importance of humanitarian work.

In addition to these leadership roles, I’m fortunate to be a Research Assistant with the Neuropsychology Lab, known as The BRAIN Group, where I contribute to cutting-edge research that seeks to understand and improve mental health and cognitive function. This experience fuels my passion for science, which also led me to become a member of Kappa Gamma Delta, the pre-health sorority. Here, I’m surrounded by driven individuals who inspire me to pursue a future in healthcare, with a focus on compassionate care and innovative solutions.

Fitness and wellness are also important parts of my life. Through UM Girl Gains, I’m part of a community that champions body positivity and strength training, encouraging others to embrace their physical and mental power. I’m equally proud to be involved with UM Best Buddies, where I work to foster inclusivity and build lasting relationships for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

As a member of the UM Mental Health Association, I advocate for mental health awareness and work to create a supportive environment for everyone. I also actively participate in the UM Health Studies program, where I’m learning how to combine research, policy, and advocacy to create lasting change in healthcare systems.

Through these experiences, I’m not only growing personally but also striving to make a difference by contributing to causes that promote well-being, inclusivity, and positive change.

I love Aquaphor because it’s one of the few products I’ve used consistently since high school—it’s truly a staple in my everyday routine. Whether it’s keeping my lips soft during long days on campus, healing dry patches after travel, or adding a natural glow as a highlighter, Aquaphor always comes through. It’s one of those products I always have in my bag, and I’ve shared it with so many friends over the years that it’s become a little inside joke—“Danica always has Aquaphor.” I love how simple, reliable, and multi-use it is, and it’s one of those little things that helps me feel put together no matter how busy life gets.
