Interim Campus Activities Program Manager
Student Life

Hi, I’m Danielle! I’m a proud Aims alum and now serve as the Interim Campus Activities Program Manager, where I support student leaders, events, and engagement across all campuses. My journey at Aims started long before I became staff. I was once a student here at Aims, unsure of my path and learning how to rebuild my life in recovery.

After returning to college in 2019, I found connection and purpose through Student Life. I became involved with the Campus Activities Programming Board and eventually served as Student Government Association President. I also co-founded Arty’s Recovery Connection (ARC), a student-led community for people in recovery and their allies. One of my proudest accomplishments was launching The Aims Little Book of Recovery, a student-led publication filled with stories, poetry, and art aimed at reducing stigma and building empathy.

Before stepping into my current role, I worked as a case manager here at Aims, supporting students one-on-one. That experience deepened my commitment to advocacy and student success, especially for those navigating challenges that don’t always show up on paper.

Today, I’m still on my own educational journey. I’m completing my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology at the University of Northern Colorado, with the long-term goal of working in leadership in higher education. Aims changed my life, and I’m passionate about helping others grow, heal, and realize their potential, too.
