Danielle Lerner
Danielle Lerner is an Emmy award-winning television news anchor and reporter with a true passion for storytelling. After more than 15 years working in local news, Danielle stepped away from the studio lights in February to focus on family and pursue work as a media consultant and coach, taking a special interest in helping Valley nonprofits with their education initiatives.
Most recently, Danielle came back home to Phoenix as an anchor/reporter at ABC15. During her more than seven years there, Danielle received two Emmy awards and several nominations, but her work took on more importance than ever in 2020. As lead education reporter, Danielle spent nearly two years using her expertise, sources, and skills to help schools, teachers, students, and their families, navigate an unprecedented year of health concerns, remote learning and COVID safety protocols.
Before returning home to Phoenix, Danielle was also a morning anchor in Tucson, and kicked off her career as a multimedia journalist, anchor, and weather presenter at KSBY-TV in San Luis Obispo, CA.
Above all, Danielle’s favorite title is wife and mom. She grew up here in the Valley, is a graduate of the Scottsdale Unified School District, and met her husband, Al, in high school youth group. They have three daughters, ages 5 and under, and are thrilled to be raising their family in their hometown.
