She completed her residency at Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital at Westchester Medical Center. She earned her medical degree at Albany Medical College after completing the Siena College/Albany Medical College Humanities in Medicine Program.

"During my fourth year of medical school at Albany Medical College, I did my student rotation with the Pediatric Infectious Disease Division Chief Dr. Debra Tristram, and that solidified my desire to pursue pediatric infectious disease,” said Dr. Daniel. “It’s exciting to be back at Albany Medical Center, but this time as Dr. Tristram’s junior colleague. I wouldn’t want to do anything else, anywhere else!”

During her fellowship, Dr. Daniel was a medical officer with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, taking part in the clinical review of new antimicrobial study protocols and large-scale safety and efficacy data analysis. She also served as a trainee liaison for the American Academy of Pediatrics: Section on Infectious Diseases Executive Committee.

Dr. Daniel is passionate about legislative advocacy, public policy, and health care equity and looks forward to sharing those interests with medical students and residents at Albany Medical College.

Dr. Daniel loves finding hidden gems in the community like restaurants or museums off the beaten path, loves TV, movies, and music.
