She then followed her dream of traveling to Australia, where she lived and played professional cricket for 6 months. On her return Dani completed a Strength and Conditioning Internship at Durham University, working with a variety of athletes and sports teams from rowing to rugby and athletics. Gaining her full accreditation to UKSCA in November 2019, Dani continues to go from strength to strength, always working to develop her knowledge.
