Hi I'm Danielle Andresen and I enjoy expressing myself through writing. I am passionate about learning and love exploring the world through travel. I work for Troy School District as an English Language Development Specialist and my favorite part about my job is having the opportunity to connect with many different cultures. I learn so much from my students and their families. Traveling and exploring new places always ignites my desire to write. I don't leave the house without a notebook for journaling and a few fancy pens for expressing my creativity. I look forward to sharing a little piece of me with you through writing.
