As Senior Director, she leads community engagement and advocacy nationally and supports regions to develop and execute strategies that align to our values. In addition, Daiana leads and supports the organization’s parent organizing and education advocacy across all regions. She served as an Education Organizer in San Jose with Rocketship for two years before leaving in 2016 to earn her master’s degree at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Since then, Daiana has returned to Rocketship.

Daiana also serves as coach for public narrative and assists with organizing workshops with Marshall Ganz and the Leading Change Network, and is Leadership Coach & Strategist with Comunidad Connects.

Daiana earned her bachelor’s degree in History and Asian Studies from Penn State University.

Most importantly, she is the proud daughter of an immigrant mother and father. Growing up in an undocumented family, the transition from Argentina to Venice, Florida created many barriers for Daiana and her family. These experiences and her social justice upbringing continue to inspire her fight for education and other opportunities for immigrants and other communities of color in the US. Currently, she lives in San Antonio, Texas with her husband and two dogs, where she enjoys evening walks, tubing in TX rivers, Argentine barbecues and eating Dulce de Leche ice cream.
