Born and raised in the great city of Pittsburgh, Daniel received his undergraduate degree in psychology and cognitive science from Case Western Reserve University. Three weeks after graduating, he was on a plane to Togo, West Africa, beginning his service in the Peace Corps. He led Togo’s largest American malaria prevention task force, analyzed data to better tailor gender equity programs, and created a curriculum for healthcare providers to curtail patient abuse. Daniel chose to enroll in CMU’s dual-degree program so that one day he can make positive and sustainable change in the world. In his free time, Daniel enjoys volunteering in the community, rewatching The Office, running half-marathons, and nervously watching the Pirates.
