Danielle Maxwell joined the program in 2019, where she competed alongside her fellow competitors for four years. In that time, Danielle has won numerous witness and attorney awards. She served as President of RMT for two years before returning to coach in 2023. Her favorite part of mock trial is the relationships you make while part of the team and how those friendships last long after graduation. Danielle met her fiancé though competing in mock trial (so she might be a little biased).

Danielle works in Capital One’s litigation department in Richmond.
