Daniel has joined us as our first legislative intern and has already proven to be a huge boon to our legislative work this year!

Daniel is a local Colorado Mesa University student who was born and raised in Grand Junction, Colorado.

Throughout his college career he has taken several leadership and involvement roles, including being the current Vice President of the Associated Student Government, Special Projects Coordinator of the Sustainability Council, as well as a peer mentor within the Office of Student Success and Engagement.

He is majoring in Political Science, with minors in History and Classical Studies, and plans on pursuing a PhD in Political Science after graduating. In the long term, Daniel wants to become a professor of political science, as well as continue to be involved in whatever local community he lives in.
He became very active over the summer in local organizing efforts, including Right And Wrong and Solidarity Not Charity, where he realized a passion for pursuing social, economic, and environmental justice movements. He is also a high school football coach within the local community.

When not in class or involved, Daniel enjoys spending time working out, reading, or finding other learning opportunities.

Please join us in welcoming Daniel to our Alliance’s legislative efforts!
