A former corporate project manager of information technology systems, Danielle has been facilitating change in networked environments for over 30 years. She lives in Costa Rica giving life and love to projects that bring blockchain-based tools for regenerative philanthropy to real world application in land-based communities. Her passion lies in the incentivization of economic redesign around caring for public goods and restoring rights both to nature itself, and to humanity as indigenous caretakers.
