Daniela D’Amico Henderson is a teacher and passionate traveler currently residing in Detroit. She grew up among the hills of the Roman countryside, where she developed a deep connection with nature and a strong attraction to city life, fueling her curiosity about the world.
After leaving Italy, she strongly desired to strengthen her connection to her roots. This led Daniela to volunteer at the Dante Alighieri Society of Michigan, where, as the current vice president, she leads the Dante cultural committee and passionately teaches the Italian language.
Recently, Daniela decided to cultivate another great passion: writing. When she is not teaching, she loves to explore new places and cultures, turning her life experiences into stories to share with others. Daniela believes that storytelling has the power to inspire and bring people together, and her dream is to continue publishing novels. For her, empathy, personal growth, and curiosity guide every choice, and each new adventure represents an opportunity for learning and discovery.
