Daniela completed her studies in Oxford in 2012. She completed her BA in Social Studies in 2010 at Wesleyan University in the US and also spent a semester at the Institut d’Etudes Politiques in Paris. She is fluent in five languages (English, Bulgarian, French, German and Russian) and would like to apply her linguistic skills to a career in the civil service in Bulgaria or in one of the governing institutions of the European Union.

Ultimately, Daniela hopes to address the serious problems of political corruption and organised crime in Bulgaria through involvement in anti-corruption campaigns, strengthening monitoring and prosecution bodies, and helping promote a social and cultural environment where democratic values are upheld.
