My name is Danielle Santola and I am currently a freelance reporter with Penn State degrees in Print Journalism and English. The most important thing to know about me is that I'm probably the most family-oriented 21-year-old you'll ever find. My two
sisters are my best friends and I couldn’t have asked for better parents or
cousins or family friends.We all
live in Livingston, New Jersey; small, but very close-knit. I play guitar and sing and absolutely
love anything to do with music. In fact, my
obsession with music played a huge part in my becoming addicted to
group exercise. During my years at Penn State, I became a nationally certified Group Fitness Instructor, so besides being a music junky I'm equally addicted to endorphins.
Being on the other side of the class gives me the same satisfying
feeling but with the added knowledge that I was responsible for relaying
that “natural high” feeling to someone else. And what can be better than getting paid to work out?!
Okay, now just some fun facts:
I’m completely obsessed with Christmas. I never know how to explain it, everyone is just so happy all the time and the music and lights and fires are like nothing else in the world to me. I also love the Beatles, who doesn’t !! I come from a family of huge New York Giants fans, GO G-MEN. And of course, Disney. Belle is my favorite princess because she was never actually a princess. One thing most people don't know about me is that I'm a bit of a book nerd, so I guess Belle and I are alike in that. Harry Potter of course is the man that started it all: Harry Potter nerd here and very proud to say it.
