MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Danielle is the chief meteorologist for ABC24 and CW30. She joined the team in November of 2021 as an evening meteorologist, and became the station's first Black female chief meteorologist in November, 2023.
Over two years with ABC24, Danielle has been at the heart of severe weather coverage, providing more than eight hours straight of wall-to-wall coverage during the deadly tornado outbreak of March 31, 2023, destructive thunderstorms, and ice storms which impacted the entire Mid-South.
Danielle leads the ABC24 weather team, which has delivered the Mid-South's Certified Most Accurate Forecast for 12 years in a row.
She fell in love with weather during her time as a flight attendant. So, she went back to school for her second Bachelor’s degree in meteorology at Mississippi State.
Danielle started her television career in Chattanooga, where she did a little bit of everything. She was a meteorologist, weekend anchor, reporter and producer for WDEF. While she was there, she had the opportunity to cover all kinds of weather including tornadoes, snow and flooding. She was live on the air when a massive EF-3 tornado ripped through the East Brainerd area in 2020. During that same year, she also covered Black Lives Matter protests and the start of the pandemic.
Prior to her time in Chattanooga, Danielle covered high school football as a sideline reporter on Friday Night Network in East Alabama. She has interviewed some of the most well-known high school football coaches in the state.
The Atlanta native has traveled to Memphis several times and loves the Mid-South. She graduated from Jacksonville State University where she was a Division I shot put thrower.
