Danielle “Missy” Marquis created The Jewel Levine Foundation in 2016 after her late grandmother due to the vast amount of strength and inspiration her grandmother instilled in her. Danielle’s goal of this foundation was to help families or individuals in great distress or financial need through hope, support and/or monetary assistance; and she is doing just that! Danielle has always been involved in giving back since she was a kid but never knew exactly the true impact she was making or where the money was going that she was raising for certain organizations. Thus she created her own foundation so she could raise money her way and directly give it to recipients, knowing it would have a true and lasting impact. She found her passion for helping others early on and hopes to do so for the rest of her life.

 Danielle graduated from Arizona State University in 2020 studying Business Communications in the W.P. Carey School of Business. Post graduation, she moved back to California to pursue a career. She now lives in Los Angeles working in client services at The Trade Desk. When she isn’t working or putting on another foundation event, she enjoys reading and being at the beach.
