Hi y'all! My name is Daniel and I'm currently a second year, undergraduate at the University of California Santa Cruz majoring in computer science and feminist studies. I'm a first generation, queer, Latino student and am passionate about aiding other students from historically underrepresented or marginalized communities. Using my love for science, photography, and writing, I actively advocate for the LGBTQ+ and Latinx/Chicanx communities through my coding skills, photography projects, and blog. To get more in touch with my heritage and culture, I also dance with Sabrosura, a competitive, latin style dance troupe on my university campus.
