“There are so many great things to say about my experience working with Daniel. I had the pleasure of working under Daniel at the Ohlone College Tri-Cities Career Center for about 4 years. I have especially enjoyed learning under his leadership. He has taught me how to navigate the world of workforce development with a student-first lens. I appreciated his support especially through launching new programs such as the first-ever Junior Leadership Academy here at Ohlone College. Daniel is a visionary with expertise in workforce development and higher education. He is innovative, adaptable, determined, intelligent, kind-hearted, and a great human being. He possesses passion and commitment in all he does and I wish him the best in all of his endeavors!”
