Ten minutes with Daniela
01What do you attribute your success to?
I don't think I'm successful. I think I do things with a lot of passion. I don't believe in success. I do believe in to be compassionate and empathetic with people. And I try to do my 100% to accompany the people who need me the most.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
Do things we love, and if you don't know something, ask for it, so you can be a good worker, and always try your best.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Working for your dreams, towards your dreams, never give up, and if you think that you're not accomplishing the goals that you propose for yourself, keep going. Never give up, because if you give up, another person will take that option.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
Sometimes we feel insecure that we are not able to make things together, that we're not able to accomplish things or accomplish goals. Sometimes doubting has been maybe some of my challenges, but at the same time I put myself together and keep working harder to accomplish the goals that I have.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Be transparent, always be present, even if you don't feel you have everything together, and always come with a great attitude to learn something new in a day.
