Since moving to Friday Harbor when they were three, Danica only has memories of the island. Their older siblings both went through Spring Street, so by the time Danica was old enough to join them, the school was already home. At school, Danica fostered a deep love of learning and of art. After graduating from Spring Street in 2020, Danica spent a year and a half at Hampshire College in Massachusetts and then a quarter abroad in Rome with the University of Washington. But, despite their love of academics, Danica needed a break from student life. So they came home. And home just happened to also mean back to Spring Street, where everyday they learn something new about one of their students and also get to give back by assisting in the math and art classrooms.
