[edit] On America's Next Top Model
While participating in America's Next Top Model she was in the bottom two twice but managed to stay in the competition because of her potential. She made it to the final up against Joanie Dodds. The judges chose Dani because she seemed to have more drive than Joanie; she also had more confidence, stronger presence, more personality and a more fierce runway walk than Joanie. When her name was called out she screamed with joy shouting "I'm a CoverGirl mommy!"
[edit] Modeling Career
Since winning America's Next Top Model, Evans has appeared on the cover of PowerPlay Magazine, an Arkansas-based publication,[1]. As part of her prize, she was signed to Ford Models.

Evans has walked the runway for Baby Phat[3], Zang Toi, and Style Salon Fall '07 during Fashion Week. She has also walked on the '07 Ripped the Runway, with many other ANTM contestants, although she was the only winner of ANTM that walked this season, she is the second winner to ever have walked on Rip the Runway.
