Hello!
Thank you for stopping by.
If you are new over here – welcome! My name is Dr. Danielle Reid and I am the visionary founder behind my learning solutions company called Science L.E.A.F. I have my doctorate in Environmental Health Toxicology. That’s just a fancy term for saying I am very passionate about keeping people safe from dangerous harms in our environment. Before getting my doctorate I got my masters degree in Industrial Hygiene. These professionals keep people (like you!) safe in the workplace.
How It Started
When I was young (kindergarten age) I wanted to be a doctor – just like my pediatrician. No one could tell me otherwise! I aced my tests in school. I played sports. I volunteered. I even got the academic scholarships needed to go to college. I just knew I was on my path to being a doctor. Or so I thought…
From Hurricane Katrina to ridiculously hard classes (ahem, calculus and physics I see you!) my dream of being a doctor was completely derailed. I graduated with a chemistry degree, poor MCAT score, and headed back home. After getting over the shock and confusion, I needed work but couldn’t land a chemistry job. I ended up working for various temp agencies . Yes, I had a 4-year degree but was absolutely not using it!
How Is It Going
Fast forward to today I can say I am beyond grateful that I travelled this journey. It wasn’t what I expected. I did not become a medical doctor. But I fulfilled my dream of helping people – just in a different way as an accomplished researcher. I’m still helping people today, sharing what I know about public health (and science), in totally unexpected, surprising ways.
Where I Am At
Nowadays I have three kids who are just as curious about learning like I was as a child. They stay asking questions and I love it! It takes us on a journey to discover how their learning could very well be connected to what their future career may be someday.
