Danielle Thompson brings a background in petrochemical and industrial safety to her work with the City of Corpus Christi. She joined the City’s Risk Management team as a Safety Coordinator in March 2024. Today, she oversees its workers’ compensation program and supports property and liability matters, recovery efforts, safety initiatives, training, and data analysis.

Danielle values the reach of public risk management. “Whether it is helping an injured employee navigate the workers’ compensation process, improving a procedure, recovering funds for the organization, or identifying a risk before it becomes a loss, I enjoy being part of solutions that protect both employees and the organization.”

Texas PRIMA has helped Danielle connect with public risk professionals who face similar challenges. Her favorite quote captures her approach to risk management: “The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining.” For Danielle, it is a reminder to identify exposures and strengthen processes before a loss occurs.
