About me
Hello All!

My name is Daniela and I am thrilled to be TIG’s Tread Lightly Program Assistant. I admire what TIG does in helping to incite change in this world by empowering youth to become active participants in impacting the future of their world, and I am excited to be a part of the team! Moreover, in working with Tread Lightly, I am looking forward to helping engage both educators and youth in bringing to light issues surrounding the environment and climate change.

A little more ‘411’ on me:

A passion for human rights and a firm desire to devote my future towards addressing the concerns of the world led me to pursue a Double Honors Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and English, a Minor in Criminology and a Master of Arts in International Relations. More recently I also completed a specialized program on genocide and human rights offered by the International Institute of Genocide and Human Rights Studies through the Zoryan Institute. I love to learn and I consider myself a ‘student of the world’ because there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t discover something new and interesting!

I was born in South Africa and in my youth I had the privilege of living in the Philippines, the U.K., and Costa Rica. I have traveled to a number of different countries, and I continue to take every opportunity to travel whenever and wherever I can. I love exploring other cultures, reading books based on true events, and volunteering my time to various organizations for different causes.

I am excited to start a new chapter with TIG!!!
