As a television producer and marketer, Dani has lived and traveled all over the country, but Austin is the place she always called home. After two decades and even more honors (including four Emmy Awards), she left the TV biz and returned to the ATX, shifting gears to focus on the digital landscape. She has always loved sharing adventure with others while being out and about in Austin. Now, she gets to do that full time for Austin.com.
Dani is also a pop culture extraordinaire. You can follow along on her adventures in entertainment on her website SpilltheATX.com as well as her Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube channels.
