Californian Model & Microbiologist Danielle Deschene

Hi Danielle it is a pleasure to feature you on SimplySxy.  Please share with our readers a little about yourself and where you’re from?

Hey there! Thanks so much for having me!

I’m 24, born in the South Bay Area of California and currently live in Santa Cruz, California. I’m a freelance model and also work in a lab as a microbiologist.

Which is your most memorable modeling shoot so far?

This one is hard! I guess I’d have to pick my shoots in Hawaii for the beautiful locations and warm water.

How is a typical day like for you?

I currently work full time in at SC Labs, so a typical day there includes weighing out samples, prepping them for various tests and then heading home to be with my boyfriend and his dog. Throughout the day I try to check my emails for potential photo opportunities and stay on top of posting to various social media.

Do you have any hobbies?

My hobbies include anything outdoors. I love camping, hiking, jumping off cliffs into bodies of water with unknown depths. I also enjoy cooking because nothing is more rewarding than a delicious creation. Last but not least, I really enjoy photography and modeling. I’ve been fidgeting with cameras since I was 6, film and digital.

Is there a superstition you believe in?

Haha no not really.. I have a strongly science-based background so with every “fact” presented to me, I’m pretty skeptical until I also hear reasons and info sources… but then again, I like to think nearly anything is possible.

Can you tell us a story behind one of your tattoos?

My most important tattoo is the one on my forearm of my dog’s paws. He passed away a couple years ago but he really meant a lot to me.

How long do you think you’ll survive in a zombie apocalypse?

I’d like to think I could survive at least a couple months in a zombie apocalypse! I’ve watched a bunch of zombie movies and know the rules of Zombieland, so hopefully I’ll be okay.

If you were to describe yourself as a flavor, what will it be?

I guess I would be tangy haha. Not necessarily for everyone, but unique and fun.

Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Danielle. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

I would define “sexy” as confident and humble. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so no matter what anyone thinks, you have to be your own number one fan. Thanks again for having me!
