Daniel Rose is a dedicated professional with a passion for working to create social justice and equity. In this pursuit, he has focused on, and made a career of, understanding the specific needs of historically marginalized people groups in under-resourced communities. Daniel started his career path by spending 12 years working as a developer and director of low-economic communities across Denver Metro, where he increased the impact of his daily work by adding evenings and weekends full of coaching youth sports and many other programs around the city. It was through these experiences that he witnessed firsthand the challenges faced by historically marginalized communities, which ignited a deep desire to be part of a solution.
With a strong conviction to address systemic inequities and a keen ability to repair relationships through resourcing and coaching, Daniel transitioned into the role of a case manager for couples. His empathetic and compassionate approach helped build meaningful connections with people and provide them with the necessary support to navigate their relationships. Motivated by his experiences as a case manager, Daniel recognized the importance of addressing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) at both an individual and organizational level. This led him to pursue a career as a DEI practitioner, where he could leverage his expertise in fostering inclusive organizational environments and advocating for historically underrepresented groups.
Daniel believes in the grassroots process of change and growth that he hopes ultimately meets the goal of the people and families of a community. Daniel has a degree with a focus in sociology and is finishing another degree in Applied Psychology.
