About Me

My name is Danielle Roberts and I go by Dani. I was born in England to an English father and a Chilean mother. I am the only girl in my family; I have two brothers: Simon, 17, and Tomas, 22. We moved to Argentina in 1998 and lived there for 7 years. After that, we moved to Katy, Texas and have lived there ever since. In high school, I participated in Track and Cross Country- the 2-mile race was my favorite event. I also took art classes every year and I still enjoy drawing as a hobby. At Trinity, I plan on majoring in Biology and hope to go onto medical school afterwards. I am involved in various community service groups on campus, such as Habitat for Humanity and TUVAC. I enjoy playing racquetball, rollerblading, running, and playing soccer.

During the summer, my family and I went on a cruise to Puerto Rico. We visited various Caribbean islands, including St. Lucia and Antigua. My secret fact is that I learned how to surf in Barbados. It was a wonderful experience. Surfing is a very fun and not as difficult as I thought it would be. I thoroughly enjoyed our trip because not only did we see the beautiful Caribbean islands, but we were also able to learn about cultures different than our own.

I took a BCIS class in high school and learned mostly about Microsoft Office. Although I am able to get by doing essays and simple PowerPoint presentations on the computer, overall, I am not computer savvy. I am somewhat scared of taking this class because computer literacy does not come very easily to me but I’m sure I will be glad to attain the relevant information about computers, which is important to know.
