S3E2 - Daniella Maamari MArch '20

In this Episode, Daniella Maamari talks about her journey living in different countries, working in two jobs simultaneously and maintaining deep connections with home regardless the distance.

Daniella spent her childhood between Lebanon, Canada and Saudi Arabia. After finishing her Bachelor’s degree in the Lebanese American University, she joined MIT in 2017 to pursue her Master’s and graduated right before the quarantine. Our guest likes to do many things at the same time. During her time at MIT, she visited five countries in relation to her work. 

Since her graduation, she worked as a researcher at MIT, and now she is the lead researcher in the MIT Future Hertiage Lab. Simultaneously, she is also working Full-time at Urban Designer in Canada. As a proud Lebanese, she was active in the Lebanese community in Boston. Even a few months after her graduation, she helped to organize the MIT Lebanon challenge. And when the devastating explosion took place in August 2020, she wrote a letter to the MIT community to spread awareness and help raise money for Beirut.
