Daniella is a Research Assistant on the Bridging Divides project, where she contributes across workstreams of the project, including the survey, experience sampling, and biological data collection strands. Daniella also assists with the qualitative work package and leads the interviews and workshops with young men and boys. Prior to joining Bridging Divides, Daniella worked on the CONNECT study at King’s College London, where she contributed to qualitative research design and co-production practices, and led community dissemination events including a PhotoVoice exhibition. Her research is grounded in creative and participatory methods, and she is particularly committed to centring lived experience and working collaboratively with communities. She also brings clinical experience from both NHS and private settings, where she developed a strong interest in health inequalities affecting Black and racially minoritised individuals.

Outside of work, Daniella enjoys experimenting in the kitchen, gardening, and pottery, though can admit her potter skills are still in progress!
