About Danielle Hilliker

Transformational nonprofit leader with over a decade of expertise in driving systemic change across public health, social justice, and economic development. I specialize in securing multi-million-dollar funding, fostering cross-sector partnerships, and modernizing organizational operations to enhance community impact. Passionate about advancing health equity and social justice, I’ve established groundbreaking initiatives like SEMHA’s first Health Equity Division and launched programs addressing housing, entrepreneurship, and public health. My commitment to partnerships with diverse stakeholders, including health departments, community-based organizations, academia, and healthcare, underscores my priority for collaboration in achieving meaningful impact. Currently a PhD Candidate in Public Policy and Administration exploring the intersection of Patient Safety and Medical Device Regulation for individuals with Breast Implant Illness.
