About
Athlete, Speaker
Dani has built her mountain craft through human-powered adventure—namely splitboarding, climbing, and running—on trips through Andorra, Argentina, Canada, Chile, France, Mexico, Peru, Spain, Switzerland, and the USA. A trilingual (English, Spanish, French) and multicultural (Mestiza and Filipina) athlete, Dani leverages her lived experience to catalyze connection, reflection, and action—inviting others to join her on a journey to unearth the power they carry within.
She holds a hard-won AIARE Pro 1 and has developed various empathy-driven communications curricula, her commitment to expanding access to backcountry education underpinning her mountain mindset.
Experienced operating solo as well as leading teams in high-consequence environments, she strives for equanimity under pressure, an inclusive mentorship practice, and honest risk assessment.
She credits her parents as much as her ancestral lineage for the work ethic, mindset, and boundless energy that put her here today.
Offerings include virtual workshops, public speaking, keynote appearances, photo shoots, and more.
As a creative strategist and filmmaker she intends to bend the arc of our collective future toward a horizon grounded in reciprocity and justice. Her work connects next-generation leaders to themselves, their communities, and the land—rooted in the belief that deepening our relationship with nature can reshape what’s possible.
With 15 years’ experience building behavioral-change campaigns, multinational brand programs, and impact-driven storytelling across outdoor recreation, CPG, sustainability, and tech, she is known for translating complex organizational goals into culturally resonant creative that moves people across languages, markets, and values.
Her personal creative practice centers cultural inquiry, post-anthropocentric narratives, and the everyday acts of resilience that define our collective journey.
Offerings include strategic advising, film and creative direction, creative strategy campaign consults, and more.
The mountains have my heart, but the ocean owns my soul.
I started life as a small-town beach girl, but have grown into the person I am today because of my experiences as a multiracial, multilingual woman pursuing growth, outside.
Originally from Playa del Rey, California, I came of age in our nation’s agricultural capital, its Central Valley, a place that seeded resilience in the face of near-fatal adolescent trauma. Flash forward: In 2014, I graduated from corporate life with a one-way ticket to South America, and began traveling through Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Peru, Andorra, Canada, and the USA, building my mountain craft as not just a moving meditation, but a somatic reacculturation practice.
Rooted in rural Colorado, I hope we can connect on this journey of personal and collective actualization.
