Latino Communities ReporterDaniela Doncel is a Colombian American journalist who joined Connecticut Public in November 2024. Through her reporting, Daniela strives to showcase the diversity of the Hispanic/Latino communities in Connecticut. Her interests range from covering complex topics such as immigration to highlighting the beauty of Hispanic/Latino arts and culture.

Daniela has a Bachelor of Arts in journalism from the University of Connecticut and a Master of Fine Arts in creative writing from Arcadia University in Pennsylvania. She worked as the news director at UConn’s WHUS Radio and as a general assignment field reporter and anchor at WTIC NewsTalk 1080.
