Eugene, OR – According to the state officials, Dr. Daniels has been serving as the ODVA interim director since October of last year, after previously serving as deputy director.

State officials also said that Dr. Daniels served in the Finance Administration of the U.S. Army for eight years before working at the Maryland Transportation Administration, then known as the Maryland State Highway Administration.

She then relocated to Oregon and worked at the Oregon Department of Energy in 2015.

Soon after, she was tapped by former Governor Kate Brown’s administration and served in multiple roles, including as a Veterans Affairs Advisor and Director of Equity and Racial Justice, while concurrently serving as the deputy director of the Oregon Youth Authority.
