Currently, he is part of the psychology team of the Secretaría de Salud del Estado de Guanajuato, working in the municipality of San Miguel de Allende, where he resides and also has private clinical practice. Due to his academic interest, he has also dedicated himself to teaching at several universities. His interest in community processes has led him to collaborate in various civil society organizations in social development interventions with vulnerable groups using transformative education strategies. Daniel has been an active member of the JC3 since 2013, when he began to study Torah, Talmud, and Biblical Hebrew, among other subjects, under the tutelage and accompaniment of Dan Lessner. In Hanukkah of 2016 he obtained his official conversion after having studied with Rabbi Juan Mejía. He is assistant Ba'al Koreh (reading publicly from the Torah scrolls at services) and helps lead the Shabbat services of KSSMA.
