After spending 4 years living with Venezuelan immigrants, he has sought service and learning opportunities throughout the United States and South America, and will be studying abroad in Argentina in the Spring of 2026. During the summer of 2025, under the Eagle Intern Fellowship grant, Daniel interned with the Kino Border Initiative in Nogales, Mexico, providing humanitarian and legal aid to immigrants crossing the border.
