Danielle Guilfoyle

danielle_and_martita

Year: 2013

Hometown: Pittstown NJ

Dorm: Badin Hall

Major(s)/Minor(s): Science Preprofessional Major, Poverty Studies Minor

Danielle became a Poverty Studies minor because she saw it as a really unique supplement to her pre-veterinary studies. Danielle thinks there is a lack of sufficient education regarding disease transmission by animals and about proper livestock hygiene and management programs, especially in lower-income and developing areas. Danielle says: "There is a direct correlation between poverty and levels of disease, and I'd like to help change that."

So far during her time as a PSIM, Danielle has participated in various Social Concerns classes and a trip to Honduras to the NPH Orphanage and Ranch through Friends of the Orphans at Notre Dame.

Danielle is also a member of the Notre Dame Fencing Team!
