She is professional and passionate in motivating researchers to reach their potential.

Testimonial one:

“From the beginning of my doctorate Daniela was instrumental in helping me understand what becoming a PhD researcher entailed. She helped me to gain confidence through her professional enthusiasm and had a good understanding of what my needs were, even if I was not so aware of them myself. She has great organisational skills borne out by her ability to create a series of seminars covering a range of topics in academic research that were both enjoyable and informative. Daniela helped me to make what could of been a difficult transition into research much easier and enjoyable.” (John Sunderland, PhD researcher at The University of Northampton & Freelance photographer)
