Daniela Furtuna brings 20 years of dedicated teaching experience from various British International schools in Qatar to the English Department at Queen’s Qatar. She holds a BA in English Language and Literature from Low Danube University of Romania and a Master of Science in Educational Studies from the State University of New York, USA.
Daniela has been committed to creating a vibrant and joyful teaching and learning environment throughout her career. Her Cambridge Certificate in Educational Leadership from Cambridge University has inspired her to promote the Joy Revolution programme, as she firmly believes that joy positively impacts learning by enhancing children’s cognitive abilities and fostering social connections. Daniela understands that happiness creates a fertile ground for effective learning, enabling students to retain information more effectively, stay motivated, think critically, and engage actively with the subject matter.
She is excited to take on the challenge of developing a dynamic, cross-curricular learning experience at Queen’s Qatar, bringing her passion for joyful education to the school community.
