Danae Terhark Danae

International Student Advisor - International Student Programs
Danae was born right here in Spokane. She went to Eastern Washington University and got her bachelors’ and masters’ degrees in applied psychology. She was voted most likely to be a Jeopardy contestant in her graduating class at school, but that hasn’t come true yet. She thinks it would be fun to be on that show, but she’d never audition because she’s scared she wouldn’t be able to get the buzzer to work right and she’d look stupid! Danae’s hobbies are reading, writing, music, and spending time with friends and family. Her favorite place to travel is to Oklahoma to visit her wonderful mother and sister! However, Danae would like to someday have visited all 50 states in the US. Right now, she’s about 1/3 of the way there! Telephone: (509) 313-6561 or e-mail: terhark@gonzaga.edu
