Daniela Lanning, senior, loves the humanities because she believes the creativity behind everyone’s stories is a beautiful way to connect bridges between people and lend empathy to their audience. In her free time, Daniela loves spending time with the people she loves, surfing or swimming at the beach, and enjoying music through singing, playing guitar, and listening to her favorite artists. She hopes to write pieces that display vulnerability and love to those who read them. Her current book recommendations are Where The Crawdads Sing by Delia Owen and Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell.
