"It was my pleasure to have had Daniela in two of my courses. She was an exemplary student whose thoughtfulness and analytical ability were expressed both in the written work she submitted and in her contributions to discussions in class. Her international experience and heightened cultural sensitivity lent a welcome cosmopolitan dimension to our classroom deliberation of issues such as civic engagement, philanthropy, accountability of nonprofits and more. I have no doubt Daniela would be a valuable asset in any professional setting that places a premium on cross-cultural collaboration, teamwork and intellectual integrity.”
