Bringing Fantasy to Life
About
For as long as she can remember, Danika has been writing stories and creating worlds. Fantasy became part of her life early on, and she wants to bring those worlds and stories to life so that others can enjoy them as much as she did.
Danika's education has been primarily in the entertainment sphere, and she strives to fill the gaps she sees in the industry in her home town, state and beyond.
Professional Goals & Background
Fantasy can be expressed in an infinite number of ways. Danika's priorities will begin with launching Whisperwood Roasters, a dual mobile coffee cart and coffee roasting business, building relationships with themed vendor coordinators across the Pacific Northwest, and self-publishing manuscripts in the fantasy genre.
A majority of Danika's professional background is in banking and healthcare. While pursuing her entertainment businesses she works in medical coding. This has granted her attention to detail and successful navigation of gray areas such as insurance, as well as a dedication to continuing education in her fields of study.
