Danielle Gehle has made a life compiling many careers as an Actor, Standardized Patient, Professor, Data Processor, Tutor, Nanny, and anything else she could dream up. After surviving a severe traumatic brain injury in high school, and being told she could no longer handle school or performing, Gehle made it her mission to prove everyone wrong. She went on to earn her BFA degree in Musical Theatre where she graduated Summa Cum Laude and ranked 3rd in her graduating class, then worked for her MA from Duke University in Graduate Liberal Studies, and recently completed a Higher Education Teaching Certificate online from the Derek Bok Center for Teaching at Harvard University. Danielle Gehle enjoys speaking and writing about advocacy for TBI Survivors, the ethics of care, as well as Neurodiversity, Invisible Disabilities and the rhetoric and stigmas of such topics. She is a big believer in advocating for yourself, as well as turning back around and helping others. While she still spends much time reading, learning, and working in various fields, she also enjoys spending time with her family, friends, and dogs.
