Daniela Wallen Morillo (born 4 April 1995) is a Venezuelan basketball player and a member of the Venezuela national team.[1] She played college basketball for Northwest Florida State College and Oklahoma City University, winning the NAIA championship with the latter in 2017.[2] Following her college career, she has played professionally in three continents. In 2018, she won the Paraguayan League championship with Sol de América Asunción, and the following year she won the Finnish championship as a member of Peli-Karhut. In 2024, she won the Icelandic championship with Keflavík.

Wallen grew up in Venezuela where she played football in her youth. Her parents where both former basketball players, but she only started playing basketball with a youth team at the age of 15 and the same year she first played for one of Venezuela's youth national teams.[1]

College career

Wallen started her college career with Independence Community College in 2013. After having trouble adjusting to the new settings, mostly due to the language barrier as she spoke no English, Wallen transferred to Northwest Florida State College the following season.[1] During the 2014–2015 season, she was named First-team All-Panhandle Conference after averaging 15.4 points, 8.6 rebounds and 3.79 steals per game.[3] In 2015, she transferred again, this time to Oklahoma City University. During her first year, she averaged 19.6 points, 9.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 3.3 steals per game and was named the Sooner Athletic Conference player of the year. The following season, she helped Oklahoma to win the NAIA championship while being named the Tournament MVP.[4]
