Daniela chose to study motorsport engineering at Brooklands when she left school as she saw it as the best route to fulfilling her dream of a career in the industry. In three years, she progressed at the college from Level 3 to achieving a high grade Level 6 bachelor of engineering degree, with Oxford Brookes University. She will be leaving to study a master's at Southampton University as the next stage in her journey. During her time at Brooklands, Daniela has supported and inspired her fellow students both individually, as a coach and mentor, but also as student governor. Despite living with diabetes, she consistently puts others first and looks for ways in which she can help to make the college a better place for all of its learners. This has led to her not only participating in college events and activities but acting as an ambassador for the college at regional skills forums, and local high school events. Daniela is a unique student who will be much missed by the Brooklands College.
