Daniela Agudelo is of Colombian origin, raised in Queens, New York. She holds a bachelor's degree in Bilingual Childhood Education and Psychology from The City College of New York, where she graduated Magna Cum Laude and was team captain of the Women's Soccer Team (2016 & 2017 seasons). Her academic interests center on youth empowerment, Latin America, and social justice, with a particular interest in how education and community-based initiatives create greater opportunities for young people.
