Daniela is currently a graduate student of Global and Chinese Economy at Fudan University (Shanghai, China) and a recipient of the 2021 Chinese Government Scholarship. She graduated as University Valedictorian with a Bachelor of Science in International Relations and Diplomacy, and Economics from Seton Hall University (NJ, U.S.). Through her undergraduate work as research assistant and newspaper writer, she published/co-published articles in global outlets like Foreign Policy on conflict, diplomacy, and economics. Her current role as project management coordinator and newsletter editor for the NJ State Department, Center for Hispanic Policy, Research and Development has granted her with experience on public sector’s initiatives that improve the socioeconomics of Hispanic/Latinx people. Motivated by RCT’s findings, from studies in low-income contexts, that have resulted in scalable strategies to improve children’s health and education outcomes, Daniela is pursuing a career in international development economics. Her current research interests lay on the intersectionality between poverty and psychological well-being, public education in rural areas, and the narrowing of income- and wealth-inequality gaps. Born and raised in Peru and as an immigrant to the U.S., Daniela considers herself a global leader and thus, hopes to help ignite more openness and inclusivity in the study of economics.
