Hi, I’m Daniel.
I write poetry and prose. I’m interested in the permeable membrane between the delightful and the grotesque. Often, I write about body horror and queer monstrosity. My short pieces have appeared in various magazines.
Currently, I’m pursuing an MFA in Creative Writing at the University of South Florida. I instruct Form & Technique of Fiction Course with an original curriculm, as well as First-Year Composition. In teaching, I value tailoring coursework to individual needs and creating engaging online courses. I worked as an intern for the Short Story Today podcast.
I formerly worked as an Associate Tools and Operations Specialist for Pegasystems. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science and Creative Writing from New College of Florida.
