Daniel's experience at the University of Maryland would help shape her future in her professional years. She was a very active member in the community and worked hard to be a successful student. Part of many organizations, Ms. Daniel traveled to Peru with Public Health Without Borders, taught minority middle school girls about the different STEM opportunities available, and was also very active in her church community. At Maryland, she was able to bond with many faculty at the School of Public Health. This allowed her to secure a job at a healthcare research company. Ms. Daniel continued to work for this company for 3 years before moving to New York to complete her Master of Public Health in Epidemiology and Biostatistics at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health. During her time at Columbia, Ms. Daniel met her future husband, Klaus, a financial analyst. After dating for a year and a half, Klaus proposed to Mrs. Daniel and they later married at Oheka Castle on Long Island. The couple lived in Manhattan for two years before the arrival of their first daughter Vivienne. When Vivienne was born, Ms. Daniel was in the midst of a very important research publication for Columbia University. After Vivienne's arrival, Mrs. Daniel awarded her a postgraduate scholarship to New York University. While completing her fellowship, she worked on a research project for a community in the Cusco region of Peru, very close to the area she visited in her home country.
