Danni’s love for skydiving has driven her to become a coach and instructor so she can share her knowledge while indulging in her passion for flying, teaching and filming. Danni is a professional freefall videographer and has filmed several freefall scenes for TV shows. Danni is also part of a national formation skydiving team and recently obtained a gold medal in her category.
