“The Appreciation for Diversity has Allowed Me to be Bold…”

Daniella was born in the U.K. but has called Maryland, Ghana, Ethiopia, and Canada home. Her studies in economics and statistics took Daniella to the University of Toronto for her undergraduate degree, and she received her MBA at Clark Atlanta University. When it came time to launch her career, though, Daniella chose Fairfax NOVA.

Eight years later, she still praises the region for its plentiful career opportunities and industry sectors, supportive community, diverse population and vibrant social scene.

“We all have opportunities to trailblaze in this region,” said Daniella.

Fairfax NOVA is far from just a place to work for the senior manager. In her free time, you might find Daniella networking with fellow young professionals, enjoying a show at Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company in D.C., hitting up a spin class at CycleBar Falls Church or grabbing a bite with friends at Our Mom Eugenia. And on any given weekend, it wouldn’t be uncommon to run into Daniella in Leesburg cheering on local professional rugby team, Old Glory.

“There is no place like Northern Virginia. Opportunity really does abound here. The companies here aren’t just companies — they’re top-tier companies with top-tier benefits that really pull you and keep you in the area.”
