Danelis graduated with a bachelor's degree in Psychology from UNH and then went on to get her master's degree in Sociology from Syracuse University. She has experience working with the UNH TRIO Scholars (SSS) Program for 5 years and has worked as a Nutritional Host/Counselor for St. Joseph Hospital and done program coordination for non-profit community organizations. While earning her B.A., she was a participant of TRIO Student Support Services and the McNair Scholars Program. She is passionate about closing the gap of accessibility to higher education for historically underrepresented communities.
