Danielle Whaley
Welcome to my website!
I am an award-winning digital content creator and athletic communications professional who currently serves as Athletic Communications/Digital Media Coordinator with Villanova Athletics.
Various pieces of design, content, feature videos, game notes and media guides were nationally recognized during my four and a half years as the Associate Director of Athletic Communications at Carson-Newman University from 2017 to 2021. Prior to this, I graduated from the University of Tennessee in May 2017 where I gained experience with UT Athletic Media Relations and the Tennessee Smokies.
My passion for sports was instilled at a young age, but it is my evolving work and growing skillset that has allowed me to cement my desire to work in sports by showcasing my creative side through producing digital content, managing social media, reporting and writing.

Bringing Storylines to Life
Infographics, GIFs and digital stickers continue to be the best way to catch the viewer's eye to share stories, news and branding in the social age of athletics. Through my efforts, Carson-Newman became the first team in the South Atlantic Conference to have searchable logo and player-specific stickers on Instagram and Snapchat. Click on the photos and videos in each of the galleries to view a sampling of content I have created for C-N since 2017.
