Danielle has been a valued member of the Great Falls Clinic and Hospital since 2022, where she worked as a registered nurse while advancing her education to become a Family Nurse Practitioner. We are proud to support Danielle’s transition from nurse to provider and to continue investing in her professional growth through a defined internal career pathway.
She brings more than 12 years of progressive nursing experience in cardiovascular, perioperative, and critical care settings. As a family nurse practitioner, Danielle prioritizes patient education and shared decision‑making, encouraging patients to be active participants in their care so they feel informed, empowered, and supported in achieving the best possible outcomes.
Danielle earned her bachelor’s degree in health and human performance from Montana State University in Billings, followed by a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Montana State University in Bozeman. While employed at Great Falls Clinic and Hospital, she completed her Master of Science in Nursing at Northern Kentucky University in Highland Heights, Kentucky. Her journey reflects a strong commitment to lifelong learning and clinical excellence.
Her passion for orthopedics stems from her experience as a student‑athlete, where she gained first‑hand insight into the patient experience following orthopedic surgery.
“That environment sparked my passion for orthopedics and helped shape my understanding of the full recovery process,” Danielle shares. “This background allows me to connect with patients on a personal level and guide them with empathy, education, and encouragement as they work toward returning to the activities they love.”
Outside of work, Danielle enjoys camping, hiking, and rafting with her family and their dogs. In the winter months, they spend time snowboarding in the mountains. Most evenings and weekends are often spent cheering on their daughters from the soccer field or basketball court.
