At age seven, she was named a winner in the eight to ten year old category at the Parnassos National Piano Competition in Monterey, Mexico. Her competition success has continued, and she has begun her solo career with festivals and orchestras around the world. Daniela made her solo concerto debut in 2012, performing Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 8 with the Aguascalientes Symphony. She went on to perform it again that year with the Jalisco Philharmonic, the Flademex Orchestra in Dallas, and the Rachmaninov Orchestra of the Kremlin in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. In 2013 she returned to the Jalisco Philharmonic to perform the Shostakovich 2nd Piano Concerto - to a standing ovation.
