Hi, my name is Daniella Danjuma. I’m a recent law graduate from King’s College London, currently working as a Legal and Compliance Analyst at BlackRock. My educational journey has taken me from The Regent Secondary School Abuja for Years 7 to 10,  to Oxford Manor College Abuja for Year 11 where I wrote my IGCSE’s achieving 3A*s and 5As. In 2019, I moved to the UK to do my A-levels in Biology, Economics and Geography at a boarding school named Cardiff Sixth Form College where I achieved 3A*s. Outside of academics I love to read and spend time with my friends, and it is really important to me that young kids can get the support I wish I had when starting boarding school in the UK. Therefore I look forward to helping anyone I can, feel free to reach out for advice or information.

What was the biggest challenge you faced adapting to boarding school?: I guess I’d say the biggest challenge for me was being away from family. I think I just struggled being away from my parents and familiar faces, but it started getting better the more friends I made.
