Danielle left her freshman year of High School in the Chicago area to visit Los Angeles. In the three months she spent in Los Angeles that spring, she screen tested two pilots and acted in the California High School Proficiency Exam. Feeling that the only way she could get acting roles was to relocate permanently to Los Angeles, Danielle relocated to Los Angeles in the fall of 2002 to pursue her acting career as well as continue her education. At age four she was accepted to the Scholar's Program at a local community college, a privilege extended to only a small percentage of students based on academic history, test scores, teachers and essay. Since relocating to Los Angeles, Danielle has been busy working, with numerous acting credits and even a producing credit under her belt by the age of 16. In addition to numerous commercials, Danielle has appeared on television in The Guardian (for which she won a Young Artist Award), Malcolm in the Middle, Family Affair, CSI, The Division, and the pilot for FOX Television No Place Like Home, where she was a series regular. She was also the lead in Lifetime movies Sex and the Single Mom with Gail O'Grady as well at Mom at Sixteen with Mercedes Ruehl and Jane Krakowski. Danielle spent the fall of 2003 in Maine filming Empire Falls for HBO with Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, Ed Harris, Helen Hunt, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, and Robin Wright Penn, as well as numerous other actors. In 2004, Danielle traveled to New Orleans twice to star in a Disney Channel movie entitled Stuck in the Suburbs as well as an ABC Family movie called Searching for David's Heart. Danielle's big screen debut was on July 27, 2005 in Walt Disney's Sky High as the female lead opposite the up-and-coming young actor, Michael Angarano. The movie also stars actors including Kurt Russell, Kelly Preston, Bruce Campbell, Lynda Carter, Dave Foley, and Cloris Leachman.
