ABOUT ME
Born and raised in Cambridge, Massachusetts, I spent the first 22 years of my life living in my hometown. I graduated with honors from Harvard University (Class of 2001), earning a B.A. in psychology (focused in cognitive development). During my four years at Harvard, I developed an interest in web and graphic design, and began my own freelance design business. Screenshots of my work can be viewed on the web and graphic design section of this site. My other artistic love has always been photography. I began doing predominantly landscape and architectural photography when I was in high school, and currently focus mostly upon sports photography. One of my most popular websites is AmateurWrestlingPhotos.com, which displays wrestling photos taken by myself and two other photographers at various major national and international wrestling tournaments. I also recently started a website called ChicagoMMA.net where I display my pictures from Mixed Martial Arts fights around the Chicago area. DanielleHobeika.com contains photo galleries displaying samples of my older work in landscape, portrait, wedding, and sports photography. Aside from my creative endeavors, I focus on athletics. I competed for 11 years on the women's freestyle wrestling national scene, during which time I relocated numerous times across the USA to pursue training and coaching opportunities (including CA, NJ, CO, OR, and NY). Past accomplishments have included 2nd and 3rd place finishes at the US Nationals, qualifying for the 2004 US Olympic Team Trials, as well as serving 3 years on the US Women's Freestyle National Team. After the 2008 US Nationals, I decided to end my competitive career in freestyle wrestling. I moved to the Chicago, IL area and have since begun competing in Submission Grappling/Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). Thus far, I have earned 5 gold medals, 2 silvers, and one bronze in a variety of different grappling tournaments, and I represented the USA at the 2009 FILA Grappling World Championships, placing 4th in my division. I made my amateur MMA debut on June 26, 2010 and look forward to fighting again in the near future. Please feel free to email me any comments or suggestions at hobeika@post.harvard.edu. If you are looking to hire a graphic designer, webmaster, or photographer, please email me the details of the project or call me at 609.933.5515 and I would be happy to speak with you. I would like to extend special thanks to GamblingPlanet.org for making a donation to my website. If you're interested in casino games, then please check out their site!
