Danielle Barrasse
TRAINER
ABOUT
Danielle received her Masters in Public Health from Columbia University in 2020 (following in the footsteps of the iconic Blair Waldorf, of course) and currently works in healthcare as well as volunteers at a local non-profit The Hope Gala. Although she’s a New Jersey girl at heart, she was born and raised outside of Scranton, PA. She was a competitive cheerleader for most of her life, cheering in PA, then at World Cup in NJ and finally ending her career as a Penn State Cheerleader! When she moved to Hoboken post-college she was looking for a community that she had always had being a part of a team. She stumbled upon Jane DO and found exactly that, so she had decided to take the leap and become a trainer!
