Danielle has proven and continues to prove as well as challenge herself as a dedicated Educator on Healthy Living for everyone. Danielle has strong Communication, Presentation, and Leadership skills.
As a member of Toastmasters International, she continues to take on challenges to develop those strengths to the next level. I will highly recommend her for any position she has an interest in.
Danielle is a passionate educator and advocate for healthy children and families. I’ve had the pleasure of working together with her and witnessing the positive results of her work. Her dedication shines through in the engaging (and fun!) solutions she provides families to support their health and wellbeing.
Danielle and I have worked together for the past year on multiple sessions delivering an Integrative Medicine curriculum for interprofessional healthcare professionals focusing on Culinary Medicine. This educational initiative brings together educational content with experiential learning which Danielle has played an instrumental role in. She has worked with me on creating learning objectives, curriculum content, and leading the experiential portions of the session. Danielle significantly enriches the educational sessions by providing practical tips tailored to diverse audiences and sharing her own inspiring journey toward health and wellness through nutrition.
I had the pleasure of working with Danielle during my time at Brooklyn Cooperative FCU. Danielle has an upbeat, enthusiastic way of relaying the benefits of healthy eating and healthy lifestyles. Her ability to provide complex information in an intuitive manner made Danielle a delight to work with.
It was great fun. Danielle generously accommodated our time zones and other challenges. She is well organised and really created space for the diversity of the group as well as measures and units we use. The material was sent out in good time so those of us who wanted to cook along could prepare ahead. Danielle is knowledgeable and was able to answer our many questions or come back with answers at the next class.
Danielle is highly knowledgeable about nutrition and fitness. She makes health and wellness fun for all ages.
Thank you so much, Danielle. That was such a lovely evening for us to cook together, and also enjoy a delicious and healthy meal after! Jimmy and I were both surprised by how different tonight’s dish tasted than other times we’ve had quinoa. The tofu was super tasty, the tahini sauce was really delightful, and all the herbs brought a freshness to the whole dish.
Thank you Danielle for a wonderful experience. I appreciated having a woman of color speak to me about food in a totally transparent and non-judgmental way. Your sessions were joyful. And having your daughter participate was an added bonus, reinforcing that we truly can positively influence how our children eat. I look forward to attending other sessions on plant-based cooking that you conduct!
Danielle was engaging and easy to understand. All of her meals were delicious. She gave me the push I needed to start cooking a little more at home. Danielle is definitely someone to keep in touch with. Her knowledge and simplicity make me want to take another class with her. I look forward to taking another class with her.
Danielle’s commitment and passion for adopting a healthy, sustainable lifestyle motivated me to do the same. I thought my busy work/life routine would be a challenge but she was able to develop a workout guide and recipe plan for me to follow each week. I’m a foodie and like variety. Danielle did not disappoint! The meals were quick and easy to prepare and contained ingredients found in my pantry.
First let me say, the fact that the Food for Life Series presented with an African Heritage focus immediately drew me in. As I have been transitioning and adjusting my eating habits for several months now, this series showed up right on time. It brought the educational facts and statistics to add to what I already know and make the connections of the benefits of the changes. It provided the colorful creative flair I needed to keep the changes exciting while new.
Our daughter loved her two weeks of Cook N Play camp last summer! The mix of outdoor play, nature exploration, cooking, and movement activities were just perfect for her, and she would come home excited to tell us more about the dish she had made each day. We were able to get a glimpse into the daily activities at camp through all of the photos, recipes, and feedback shared with us. Danielle is a skilled educator whose warmth, energy, and teaching expertise all serve to create a wonderful camp experience.
Cook N Play Summer Camp is the perfect fit for kids like mine, who thrive in a smaller group, with gentle and creative leadership! My twins are cautious eaters, and they both tried new foods and came home excited about the recipes they made at camp. They loved being outside and having space to explore and move, with kids of all ages. Danielle has created a nurturing, energizing experience in the often chaotic world of Brooklyn summer camps, and we’re so happy to return this year!
My daughter had such a wonderful time at Cook and Play camp! She loved engaging in all of the wonderful activities that were planned and she especially enjoyed exploring the park, doing yoga, playing games and dancing in nature. She also loved learning how to make delicious food that nourished her body and was excited to try some of the recipes at home! She can’t wait to go again this summer!
