Our Remarkable People
Meet Danielle
Allow us to introduce you to Danielle, a truly exceptional individual who holds a special place within the Nashua Center family. At 36 years young, Danielle’ s journey has been nothing short of inspiring, making her one of the true gems among Nashua Center’s “Remarkable People”.
Danielle has found her place in the heart of our LIFE-OP Program. Her story radiates the spirit of our center - a place where individuality is celebrated and growth knows no bounds - and as you will see she is quite an achiever.
She chose Nashua Center because we are not, as she puts it, “cookie-cutter.” She was very attracted by the fact that our programs are “specifically for the individual.” Danielle says what she likes best at Nashua Center is “how they genuinely care about people. They really try to help you when you have a problem.”
Now, let’s talk about Danielle, the person. She refers to herself as a high functioning person, radiating positivity. She's like a ray of sunshine - brimming with leadership qualities, a knack for humor, and a love for stepping onto the public speaking stage. Danielle’s cheerful and upbeat nature makes one feel like they are chatting with an old friend. And yes, she admits to occasionally getting caught up in the excitement of a conversation and finds it difficult to hit the pause button. She adds, with a little laugh, she’s working on that.
Danielle proudly wears the badge of a “social butterfly,” fearlessly taking on issues and exploring new things. Among her proudest achievements was attending, and most importantly, receiving a certificate in early childhood education from Nashua Community College. The driving force behind this achievement? “I love little kids.” There were challenges along the way, of course.
In Danielle’s words: “I decided when I was 31 or 32, and struggling with all the homework, that I needed help or I never would finish”. She connected with Nashua Center’s Sandra Fontaine, the Programmatic Lead of LIFE-OP, and says “I was able to get my certificate because of Sandy who is very organized and makes sure all guidelines are followed.”
Danielle calls her parents her biggest supporters, and she lives with them. Sometime in the future Danielle says she wants to live independently but, in the meantime, she says she is busy working on what she calls “my stuff.”
She is also busy being one of Nashua Center’s Remarkable People.
Danielle’s journey is a reminder that within each challenge lies an opportunity, and with the right support, one can achieve remarkable feats.
