Dannika serves as the Coordinator of Field Programs and Partnerships for Peace on Purpose. Dannika first experienced the power of mindfulness in a Nairobi yoga studio while studying abroad. Since then, she has grown in her practice and enjoys exploring all forms of movement. Dannika holds a degree in Global Studies and Political Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Originally from the suburbs of Chicago, she will always have a special place in her heart for deep dish pizza and freezing winters. Within Peace on Purpose, Dannika loves having the opportunity to create relationships with cause-driven colleagues all over the world, to support the program in its sustainability and expansion, and to visit new places with the team. In her free time, she likes to watch stand-up comedy, cook homemade pasta, and take walks to the park with her dog, Blue, and her partner.
