Danielle Manni
3rd-Year Student
Hi everyone! My name is Danielle Manni and I’m a third-year student at the University Park campus from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. My major is Communication Sciences and Disorders with a minor in Human Development and Family Studies.
Outside of my major, I currently serve as the president of Alpha Xi Delta, member of a THON committee, Sign Language Organization, NSSHLA, and Penn State Lyrical Line Dance Company. As for my career goals, I plan on attending graduate school directly after my four years here at Penn State to study speech-language pathology. My ultimate goal is to end up working in a NICU setting. One thing that I want to learn more about while I’m at Penn State is stuttering and its causes!
