Danielle Cadena Deulen was born and raised in Portland, Oregon to Daniel Deulen and Cecilia Cadena. She is half-Latinx on her mother's side. Much of her early life is explored in her personal essay collection, The Riots.[1] She received her BA in English at the College of Santa Fe in New Mexico and her MFA in poetry from George Mason University. She received a Jay C. and Ruth Halls Poetry Fellowship from the Creative Writing Institute at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, and went on to earn her doctorate in English (with a specialization in Creative Nonfiction) from the University of Utah in Salt Lake City.

After graduating from the University of Utah, she became an assistant professor for the creative writing doctoral program at the University of Cincinnati, but left the position in 2015 for a position at Willamette University in Salem, Oregon.
