Daniella is currently completing her third year in Communication and Media Studies undergrad at Carleton University. Previously, she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Classical Chinese Dance from Fei Tian College—one of the top schools for dance in the world. She also toured seven times around the world with Shen Yun Performing Arts in over 700 shows.
During her studies, Daniella became aware of several human rights issues that were taking place in China but did not receive mainstream media attention. She became interested in using the news to spread awareness and did multiple internships in media companies. She also noticed many individuals, especially youth, lack interest in news media and what it can offer. This inspired her to build her start-up Savvy, which is a news media company that uses modern technology and up-to-date styles to cater to young news consumers. Daniella strives to combine her media studies with her unique theatrical experience to create a refreshing approach to the news.
