Daniel

Daniel is a human being that moved here in Las Vegas 3 years ago. He graduated back in the Philippines at 2020. This person likes math a lot... probably. Also, he genuinely likes helping out other people as he did on his college days. So, I think he loves what he does here at Mathnasium... probably. They say you get to know about a person based on their hobbies. This dude likes chess, Kpop, Pop Music, OPM, Taylor Swift, cooking, video games especially Pokemon, Castlevania, and Final Fantasy XIV... also, don't forget about manga, anime and a lot more and lastly, I think it's better to talk to him in person at Mathnasium if you want to know about this (lovely) person.
