Daniella graduated from the bridged Theatre and Drama Studies Program at the University of Toronto and Sheridan College in 2021 where she achieved an Advanced Diploma in Acting Technique and an Honours Bachelor Degree of Arts. Through the prestigious program, Daniella was fortunate enough to have met her mentor, Melee Hutton, and became one of the co-founders of The Intersection and The BIPOC Student Association in hopes of creating a welcoming space of inclusivity for all TDS students to come.

 

During her theatrical studies, Daniella had the pleasure of portraying Athena in The Oresteia (dir. Tyler J. Seguin), and being a collaborative creator for The Places We Are  (dir. Rob Kempson) and Hello Girls (dir. Maggie Kennedy). Additionally, she had the privilege of voicing Jinx in the world premiere of David Yee’s hair raising play, and the first ever Theatre Erindale audio series, the cecil hotel directed by multiple Dora Mavor Moore award-winning Nina Lee Aquino. To close her post-secondary experience, Daniella was cast in a Swinging 60’s virtual adaptation of The Roaring Girl directed by Samantha Wilson.

 

Outside of her education, she has also been writing a new play with The Disconnect(ed) Collective titled Pedestal Pinays in partnership with the Carlos Bulosan Theatre and is an executive board member of Reclamation Media Inc. Some of Daniella's selected camera works include her first ever film for Hallmark’s Two For The Win, Christmas CEO, and commercials for companies such as Hyundai, Best Buy, Jollibee, and many more. Make sure to tune-in to Daniella's first series, Ezra, where she plays Gwen Garcia this October 2022 on OUTtv!
