Danna competed nationally and internationally in junior tennis, which led her to play Division I tennis at the United States Military Academy at West Point for all 4 years as a cadet student-athlete. Upon graduation, Danna commissioned as an Army Officer, and later entered the corporate space. Her college tennis teammate introduced her to pickleball years later, which rekindled her love for competition. Danna began playing pickleball professionally in 2024 while working corporate full time, and is excited to bring her passion to the PPA tour.
