Professionally and personally, Dani is invested in cultivating solidarity across communities, situating the Communication discipline as a toolkit for enacting justice.

In addition to teaching and learning at CU, Dani is a professional theatre artist. Their most recent work was in Xanadu and The Fantasticks at Creede Repertory Theatre in Southern Colorado.

Soibelman holds a B.S. (Communication Studies, Human Relations) and M.A. (Organizational Communication & Technology) from the University of Texas at Austin, as well as a Graduate Certificate in Critical Ethnic Studies from the University of Colorado Boulder. They will graduate with their PhD in Spring 2026.
