The 27-year-old has lived all her life in Glengormley and is a parishioner at Carnmoney Parish Church. She has a BA (Hons) Degree in Childhood Studies & Professional Practice Studies from Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne.
Danielle worked in Carnmoney Primary School as a one-to-one Classroom Assistant with children with special needs before training for ordination.

Her hobbies include ballroom dancing. This is something she has been doing since the age of 15, but admits she has had much less time to do it since starting ordination training!

Danielle served her internship as a Deacon at St Brigid’s, Mallusk.
She said: “I love cooking and eating good food! I also enjoy spending time with friends so I’m really looking forward to being able to open my new home in Lisburn for fellowship.”
