"It has been my observation that the happiest of people, the vibrant doers of the world are almost always those who are using - who are putting into play, calling upon, depending upon the greatest number of their God-given talents and capabilities." -John Glenn. I have faced more adversity than what you may expect and accomplished feats some may never have the opportunity to conquer in their lifetime. At the end of the day I always know who I am and what I stand for. My strong faith has carried me through this journey we call life. From working the Super bowl to engaging in philanthropic initiatives with the National Basketball Wives Association, playing college basketball to being Miss Wisconsin United States 2017, continuing to place in the top 10 at Miss United States and now holding the title of Miss Wisconsin USA 2019...I am always amazed to see what God has in store for me. Volunteerism is a passion of mine. Giving back is the start of creating a loving world. A topic that is truly moving to me is human trafficking and I strive to spread awareness of this horrific crime against humanity using my voice for those who are voiceless. 

 I believe we are all placed on this earth for a unique purpose. Although we may get caught up in the day to day struggles, there are so many great things to keep our focus on. I find comfort in the words of John 16:33 "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” My mission is to help others discover their unique purpose through recognizing their gifts and talents and utilizing them to be the best they can be and help others in the process. My purpose is to connect with everyone, share life experiences and empower others one blog at a time. Come find your purpose with me. 

Your girl next door and so much more,

-Danika.
