Daniella is continuing to carve a space for herself in the sports scene. Taking an unconventional path, she started as a volunteer play-by-play announcer for roller derby, which took her across Canada and the US. From there, Daniella has worked as a game-day host, sideline reporter and play-by-play announcer for sports broadcasts including Saskatchewan Roughriders, USPORTS football and women's hockey, WHL games, SJHL games, Canada West football and the National Lacrosse League. She's also worked as a camera operator for WHL hockey and CFL football, working up to assistant director of the Mosaic Stadium MaxTron crew in 2019.
