My Story

I am Daniella DeNicola, and most people call me Dani. I grew up in New Jersey in a sports-loving family. Instead of trips to tropical destinations or European countries, my family and I went to sports games.

I knew in high school that I wanted to work in sports. Sports was one of the few things that I truly felt connected to. It's given me friends, passions, and experiences I could never dream of.

Sports has given me a home. It's shown me the power of community and loyalty. It's been there for me when I've been at my lowest.

Which is why I love sports communications. I want to have the ability to show people how sports can impact their lives. It can be either from attending their first Texas football game or reading about a small-town hero. It's my passion to share the community that is sport.

Fun facts about me:

I am a die-hard New York Yankees and New York Knicks fan. I will defend those teams like my life counts on it.
I am an avid reader. In 2022, I read 150 books. In 2023, I read a little over 100 books. I am not ashamed to admit my favorite genre is romance. Follow my Goodreads for my fun reviews!
My favorite arena I've ever been to is Climate Pledge Arena, home to the Seattle Kraken.
I have an identical twin sister (she was born first before you ask). She went to LSU.
