Her family is a testament to the American Dream, and she is proud to be a child of that dream. She learned the power of difference and advocacy at an early age when her late brother, Marcus, was a student at Missouri School for the Blind, which is now in the 6th Ward. 

Daniela is also the first Latina to serve on the board.

Daniela also brings her strategic communications experience to the Board in service of the city.Prior to being elected, she worked with a diverse range of organizations, spanning from grassroots community organizations and community-based coalitions, top global companies and national nonprofits to help tell their story. She previously was the director of communications for the ACLU of Missouri, served a staff consultant for the Ferguson Commission and worked as a
journalist.
