Danielle Snedeker recently joined the staff of the Wisconsin Rapids City Times as a reporter. She earned a BFA in English with a writing, publishing, and editing intent from the University of Wisconsin- Stevens Point, performing at the top of her class, and earning a place on the Dean’s List. While she expands her education in Chicago with a master’s degree in publishing and writing from DePaul University, she is actively honing her craft through publishing courses and fiction workshops.
Her professional experience spans from grant writing at UW-Stevens Point to publishing and copy editing at DePaul University. Outside of writing, Danielle has worked as a dental assistant at a local Wisconsin non-profit; Noble Community Clinics.
In her free time, Snedeker has completed the iconic Tour du Mont Blanc and will return to hike the mountains this summer, in Scotland. “Sharing nature with her friends is one of the driving forces behind her writing and being a paddlequest participant is just to name a few,” Snedeker wrote in her Dec. 25, 2024 introductory piece in the City Times.
When she’s not writing, reading, or exploring, she enjoys running and spending time with her cat, Nebula.
