Welcome, Tania!

Daniela Camacho joins GLS with four years of experience as a practicing attorney and a J.D. from Northeastern University School of Law in Boston. Her interest in law began during an internship with Physicians for Human Rights, where she worked on a Special Immigrant Juvenile Status case and grew close with the clients. After that, she interned with the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia. Both experiences deeply impacted her and encouraged her to go into legal services.

Most of her previous clients have been immigrants. She is especially proud of a pair of former clients who sought asylum when asylum approvals were at an all-time low. Their petition was approved and they went on to start the first newspaper by Venezuelans in New York City.

When she moved to Florida, she knew she wanted to continue to work in legal aid and after her first Zoom interview with GLS, she knew this was the place she wanted to be. She joined our staff in May and is working in the family law unit at the Wimauma office. She is looking forward to the day when she can begin doing outreaches!

Originally from Venezuela, Daniela now lives in Tampa and enjoys playing with her dog, cooking, baking, and is even looking at writing a book.

Welcome, Daniela!
