Danielle's Program
Hola! My name is Danielle and I'm very excited to be a leader of the Global Discovery Program in Monteverde.

I'm looking forward to another summer with CIEE and especially to being a part of the amazing adventure that these students are embarking on. Thank you for following our blog. I hope you will enjoy being a part of the journey!
