Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.Daniela Fernández is a queer Latina born to an immigrant father and a teenage mother. She is the first person in her family to go to college, the first to come out as queer, and the first to earn a master's degree. She knows well that her value runs deep and is fed by a lineage of ancestors whose dreams and sacrifices landed her where she is today.

With a diverse lived experience and a master's degree in Counseling Psychology, Daniela has a deep social, racial, and gender justice analysis and understands the psychosocial effects of marginalization and systems of oppression. She's dedicated the last 20 years to social service, working with and advocating for myriad communities: seniors, adults and teens with disabilities, LGBTQIA+ youth, incarcerated women and their families, and communities of color. 

As a skilled group facilitator, community educator, and consultant Daniela uses techniques from Theatre of the Oppressed and Playback Theatre to work with challenging topics such as power, privilege, and oppression. Additionally, Daniela is an elected official sitting on City Council in Nevada City, California on unceded Nisenan land. As the youngest person on Council, she brings a much-needed fresh perspective and a social justice lens to her rural northern California community.
