Daniela Valla
I'm Daniela Valla, Social Media Officer at World Animal Protection UK.
I joined World Animal Protection in November 2018, looking after all things social media. Italian by birth but Londoner in my heart, my love for animal welfare ignited in my teens, when I became vegetarian (and later vegan) and found unprecedented passion in animal and environmental activism. I’m excited to be inspiring others to create a better, kinder world for all animals.
