Prior to her coming to the bar in Australia, Danielle was a Crown prosecutor in Auckland, NZ and appeared in numerous jury trials, including a highly publicised murder trial.

As a solicitor in Australia, Danielle worked for almost four years in the legal team for Fair Trading, prosecuting, and providing advice under the various enactments the Secretary of Fair Trading administered (2014 to 2017). Danielle also worked for the ODPP (NSW), and Freehills (as it then was) in the insolvency and litigation teams.
