Daniella graduated from Medical School at the University of Panama in 2024. Her journey in Global Brigades began in 2023, when she joined the organization as a language liaison in Medical-Dental Brigades. The more she worked with the organization, the more she was able to see, firsthand, the impact it had in poverty alleviation in rural communities in Panama. For this reason, she decided to apply as a Program Associate in order to contribute to GB’s holistic model on a greater scale.
Daniella has always been passionate about volunteerism and social impact. In high school, she was Vice-President of the Eco Committee and member of the Social Actions Club. Moving forward, whilst in Medical School, she decided to join Circle K International in 2019 and held the position of Committee President during her last year as a student. Likewise, she was President of the Student Council of the Central American Chapter of the American College of Physicians, contributing not only to the education of students in Internal Medicine but also volunteer work in the Chapter, awarding her the title of “Outstanding Medical Student of the Central American Chapter”, as well as awarding the Chapter with a special recognition due to their volunteer and philanthropic endeavors, in the XLVI Annual Chapter Meeting held in Panama in February of 2024. During her free time, Daniella loves listening to music, dancing, connecting with nature, hanging out with friends, and spending time with her cat (Stitch).
Daniella is eager to be a part of the GB Team as a Program Associate, and can’t wait to contribute to Kambia programs all over the world, providing some much needed social, health and economical impact to rural communities in different countries.
