Meet Danielle Parker

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UAB chapter.

Name: Danielle Parker
Hometown: Mobile, AL
Major/Minor: Spanish/Social Work
Relationship Status: Single

HC: Where do you see yourself in the future?
DP: I eventually want to move back to Costa Rica after I get my Masters.  

HC: What are your hobbies/interests?
DP: Dancing is my life. I´ve branched out from ballet to more Latin styles like Salsa. I also love being outdoors. 

HC: What got you into Salsa dancing?
DP:  I have always had a thing for the Hispanic/Latino lifestyle, not just the Spanish language. Since dancing is such a huge part of my life, naturally I just HAD to learn!

HC: Describe your perfect date?
DP: Definitely something relaxed. Dinner is always nice, but I´d rather be able to see that he put some thought and creativity into the planning. Hiking or kayaking would be ideal!

HC: Is it sexy if a guy can dance?
DP: Oh God, yes!!!  I am a sucker for guys that can dance. Especially Salsa!! There is nothing better than a guy asking me to dance and completely surprising me with his sick Salsa moves.

HC: What are your turn ons/offs?
DP: Turn ons: Obviously we know I like guys that can dance, but also guys that are bilingual, and guys that are a little rough around the edges (personality and appearance wise).
Turn offs: Cockiness!! I consider myself a patient person, but that is one thing I have no patience for. And guys that think girls don’t burp, sneeze, fart, or anything of the like. Sorry, guys. I hate to break it to ya but, we do.

HC: If you could escape life in Birmingham, where would you go?
DP: Costa Rica.
