Daniela Capistran

Texas '25

Daniela Capistran is a part of the National Writers program at Her Campus. She writes for the Culture and Style sections on the site.

Daniela is a recent graduate from the University of Texas at Austin, where she received her B.A. in English and a minor in journalism. She also works at the Rio Grande Guardian in the Rio Grande Valley, as a news reporter where she writes for the publication and oversees its social media. Her coverage at the Rio Grande Guardian spans from business, government and regional news such as interviews with the Mexican Consulate about border-business affairs.

During her time at the University of Texas at Austin, she wrote for The Daily Texan, the school’s student-run publication, as a senior news reporter and Spanish translator. She spent this time covering student-life on campus and civic engagement.

When she isn’t busy writing for Her Campus, Daniela enjoys spending her time going to the beach with her friends, tanning, and drinking overpriced iced chais, because real coffee gives her migraines. She is a huge cinephile and is happy to hear every time there is a new A24 movie released. She also occasionally publishes creative writing on her Substack, where she shares blog-style content.
