As President and Co-Founder of Laurelcrest, Danielle has led the charge in transforming the hemp and natural wellness industry through cutting-edge innovation and a commitment to transparency and sustainability. Laurelcrest's cGMP-certified facility in McMinnville, Oregon, specializes in the production of high-quality hemp-derived cannabinoids, including distillates, isolates, and innovative alternatives, serving a global network of partners.

Danielle’s journey to the hemp industry is deeply personal and fueled by a passion for natural plant medicine. Before joining Laurelcrest, she co-directed, produced, and edited Homemade, an award-winning documentary that delves into the impact of post-traumatic stress, traumatic brain injury, and addiction on a U.S. Marine and his wife. This project not only won multiple accolades but also reshaped her purpose, inspiring Danielle to create solutions that improve lives and foster community well-being.



Danielle sits on several board positions within the industry, she is a member of American Herbal Product Association, on the Advisory Board of Development in Gardening and the mother to three amazing girls.

At Laurelcrest, the mission is not only to create products— it is to set new standards. The recently expanded, state-of-the-art facility exemplifies the company and Danielle’s dedication to quality and scalability. Partnering with industry leaders, Laurelcrest has implemented a campus of excellence in cannabinoid manufacturing and quality control. This innovation underscores the commitment to delivering excellence at every level.
