Before joining International IDEA, Daniela worked as a research assistant in different universities such as Södertörn University, Copenhagen University and the National University of Cordoba. She has also worked at the Danish Institute Against Torture (Dignity) and did an internship at the Kvinna till Kvinna Foundation. 

Daniela was part of the research team that wrote a successful application dossier to UNESCO, which led to the recognition of the ESMA Museum, a former Navy school turned clandestine detention center during the country’s last dictatorship, as a World Heritage Site. She has conducted ethnographic fieldwork in Argentina, Sweden, and Denmark for projects focused on human rights, migration, and political violence.
