About Daniella
- I was born in Trinidad and Tobago.
- I grew up watching my dad, an electrician, work on projects around the house, which inspired my interest in electrical engineering.
- I earned my associate degree in electrical and electronics engineering and then spent a few years working on the construction of process plants in Trinidad and Tobago.
- I came to the U.S. and attended the City College of New York, where I studied electrical engineering.
- I learned about the New York Power Authority because they were doing energy efficiency updates at my college—I applied for an internship and was able to start my career with the organization.
- I started at the New York Power Authority as an electrical engineer and have worked my way up through various engineering roles to my current role as regional manager and chief transformation officer.
