Daiyaan: [day-on, day-awn]

Hometown: Baltimore, MD
Current Location: Miami, FL
Education: Arizona State University, B.S., Public Service and Public Policy

I’m a proud Baltimore native living in Miami who prides himself on helping others.

I have nearly 15 years of experience in corporate, education, and non-profit marketing and I’ve always wanted to be an advocate for underrepresented and marginalized communities in our society.

A wise former president once asked, “Do we settle for the world as it is, or do we work for the world as it should be?”

To me, that question is one the most definitive responses to apathy, fear, or complacency that anyone can give — we get what we settle for. And I never want to settle for anything - and I don’t want to look back on a life where I sat idly by, settling for the world as it was.

I’m ready to back up my passion with action.

Causes close to my heart include voting rights, veteran's advocacy, drug policy reform, and civil rights activism.

In terms of my work ethic, I’m never satisfied and always working to get better and smarter. When it comes to challenges - I don’t know what a problem that can’t be solved looks like.

On a lighter note, family, faith, and friends are #1. In my free time, I like to work out, go to concerts, volunteer, or read a good book in the sun - and sometimes I’m a good cook.

What can I do for you?

I love helping people and I love winning. Since 2008, I've immersed myself in all things communications, working for great organizations and honing my craft along the way.
