About Danielle: Hello! I’m currently a Biology major with the hopes of achieving my lifelong passion of working in the medical field as a pediatrician. I know the tough challenges firsthand of Biology 205 but I did not expect to love biology as much as I do now after taking this course. I hope that I am able to pass on my insight and strategies for this course to the best of my ability. Email: dalamillo@valleycollege.edu.
