In the four years I worked with Daniel at the Shanghai American School, he served as a wonderful colleague, a hard-earned Apple Distinguished Educator, a beloved friend, as well as a long list of other duties and achievements that uplifted our school daily. In meetings, he pressed the thinking of our school, from the classroom to the hallways, having us reconsider our perspectives of where we are and how we go about our days. His in-service workshops as a trainer in Visual Thinking Strategies were a brilliant showcase of his talents as an educator, revealing our innate human abilities to unpack and appreciate the aesthetics of the world around us. He is dearly missed.

I had the pleasure of studying with Daniel during our M.A. in I/O Psychology program at Adler University. Daniel and I were involved in many group projects as well as support units to our cohorts in the program. Daniel has an incredible gift in creating an educational experience while keeping the human development perspective within any circumstance. Daniel is reliable, collaborative, and willing to look at diverse perspectives to ensure the solutions are inclusive. His openness to viewpoints, ability to educate and coach with empathy, and passion for creating environments of equity and inclusivity would be of value to any organization.

      Moving abroad was an incredibly rewarding experience that allowed me to be pushed outside my comfort zone, take risks, and meet incredible people that I wouldn't have met otherwise. While at Shanghai American School I taught first grade. Auxiliary duties included serving on the math, science, and report card committee. Along with these duties I was the Outdoor Learning Lab Coordinator. While in China I was also chosen by Apple as an Apple Distinguished Educator for my work in transforming my instruction through the use of Apple technologies in inventive ways. Show less
