That drive continued as she entered the workforce.</p><p>Follow Daniela on twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/dpierrebravo?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor">@dpierrebravo</a> and on the Know Your Value website: <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/knowyourvalue">https://www.nbcnews.com/knowyourvalue</a></p> <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
