Danielle Alexander
Major: Business Marketing

I play volleyball because... "It's fun."

My goal for this season is to... "Win another national championship."

My proudest accomplishment during my time at Grand Valley has been... "Winning a national championship and being 3rd-team All-American in 2007."

When I leave Grand Valley I will miss... "My friends and being around people all of the time."

In 10 years I hope to be... "Happy, healthy, successful and living on the beach with my family."

The person who has had the biggest influence on my life has been... "My dad."

The best advice I have ever gotten was... "Follow your heart and live life with no regrets."

If I played another sport it would be... "Basketball."

My favorite sporting event to watch is... "Basketball, football and baseball."

People might not believe that I... "Like to sketch."

Head coach Deanne Scanlon on Alexander: "Danielle had big shoes to fill with the recent graduation of all-americans Meghan Moore, Traci Kirk and Erica Vandekopple. She has stepped right in and not only performed at a high level on the court but has established herself as a leader on this team."
