How Daniel is building a better working world

“As reflected in my fields of study, role as an educator and work with international development organizations, my mission is in public service. I hope I have brought that orientation to EY and to client service. My skill set – research, writing and project work – has been largely engaged in the pursuit of a better working world through improved government and public policy.

This takes place through improved government operations and a strong relationship between the population, private and not-for-profit sectors and governments in pursuit of mutually beneficial outcomes and understanding. Be it economic development, fiscal restructuring or justice sector reform, understanding of, respect for and cooperation between sectors are critical to maximizing outcomes for clients and populations.

A better working world does not simply happen. It needs to be nurtured, embodied in actions and intent and lived. I strive to do so.”
