Daniela Correia
Lead Trainer & Strategic Support Coordinator

After 18 years as a manager in the Biotech commercial sector, Daniela had considerable experience managing cross function teams in the creation and launch of new products. However, when one of her daughters benefited dramatically from an iheart programme she became curious to learn more about the iheart framework. She completed the iheart training to work with both children and adults and was inspired to begin a new career delivering iheart programmes.

Daniela was invited to join the iheart school’s team because of the significant positive impact she had on her clients. She provides invaluable support to increase the outreach of iheart’s charitable work. She assists clients with delivery logistics and liaises with them  before and after their training.
