Daniella, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
Daniella’s academic journey began at York University, where she earned her nursing degree in 2018. This educational foundation gave her a deep understanding of health and wellness, which she has leveraged throughout her career. After graduating, Daniella joined Toronto Public Health as a Public Health Nurse.
