Daniel started his career as a Spiritual and Community Animator at the EMSB, working at the elementary and high school levels, where he conducted retreats and provided mentoring to students. After a number of years in this setting, he moved to Hope & Cope, an organization that is run within the Palliative Care unit at the JGH and focuses on helping people and family members who have been touched by cancer. Here, he was a contributing members of a multidisciplinary team dedicated to patient care and had the opportunity to counsel patients and their family members, run bereavement seminars and memorials, and managed a group dedicated volunteers. Although this was a very rewarding experience, his passion for teaching brought him to Champlain College (Lennoxville and St. Lambert) within Special Care Counseling, where he has been since 2009. Daniel has a Master’s Degree from Concordia University in Theology, with a secondary focus on Philosophy.
