Daniel ChoiGrowing up in Fayetteville, North Carolina, I enjoyed being outside, playing with blocks, building with scraps of wood, asking riddles, and doing all sorts of things that required the use of my mind and hands. My seven siblings and I were never bored, always inventing some new pastime or game.
Academic and Professional Experience; View Full CV I graduated from North Carolina State University in 2019 with a bachelor's degree in wildlife science, and will be graduating with a Master of wildlife science in 2021 (also NC State). During my three college summers, I worked at Fort Bragg, NC on a Bachman's sparrow research project, in Couer d'Alene, ID for the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, and in Hadley, MA for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. At NC State, I worked as a campus photographer, tutor, teaching assistant, leadership program coordinator, and university housing community assistant. I was also involved with the University Honors Program, Social Innovation Fellows, Doris Duke Conservation Scholars Program, and Engaging Leaders Program.

Hobbies and Interests
I have traveled through a diverse set of hobbies, some passing quickly and some remaining through the years. Current activities I find interesting and enjoyable include photography, painting, piano, poetry, reading, writing, puzzles, codes, building, backpacking, climbing, ultimate frisbee, and spikeball. Some topics that interest me include ecology, ethnobiology, ornithology, leadership, philosophy, psychology, linguistics, curiosity, physics, creative writing, time travel, education, and logic.
Belief in God
I am steadfast believer in God. I believe that Jesus was a real person, that he was both God and human, that he sacrificed himself for us, and that he rose to life again. I believe that no one can know God except through the Jesus. I believe that Jesus' death reconciles us to God out of grace, that no effort is required on our part. Out of reverence for this act of mercy and love for God, I strive to live a life that is set aside for God, a life filled with selfless love in every way. It is my goal that each day I understand more of God's grace and love for me and that I will do all that he might be glorified.
