Danica is Notable’s Vancouver Editor as well as principal of her own boutique communication’s company, dvinewrites communications. Originally from Toronto, she moved out to the West Coast to attend the University of Victoria, wooed by the campus and its proximity to the beach. Also an avid traveller, she spent six months in Africa before graduating with a double major degree in International Relations and English. Post-working and travelling for a year in Asia, her love for the coastal life inevitably led her back Vancouver to begin her ‘grown-up’ life.
Always on the look out, her keen sense of curiosity, penchant for networking and meeting interesting people, as well as her passion for writing, are what drives Danica to seek out the cultural and lifestyle gems Notable YP readers are looking for.
