Actor/ Writer / Tutor/ Coach

Daniel C.

Greetings! I'm Daniel, a senior at Northwestern University passionately pursuing Theatre and Latino Studies, with a focus on Playwriting and Acting. Throughout my academic journey, I've dedicated myself to rigorous research and artistic challenges, consistently earning a place on the Dean's list every quarter with an unwavering GPA of 4.0.

My academic excellence traces back to high school, where I graduated as the Valedictorian with a remarkable 5.34 weighted GPA and a 4.0 unweighted GPA. I proudly received the Dr. Ruth Jacoby Principal's Award, recognition as a Nationally Recognized Hispanic Scholar, and the title of an AP Scholar with Distinction—having taken 13 AP classes and scoring a 5 on each test. In leadership roles, I served as the president of the National Honor Society and the Vice President of the International Thespian Society.

My strengths lie in playwriting and acting coaching, showcased through my role as the Literary Manager at Vertigo Productions, a student theatre board at Northwestern dedicated to producing new student-written works. Here, I mentor and guide five playwrights, offering invaluable support in proofreading, editing, revision, and overall dramaturgy.

Having been a performer since fifth grade and immersed in musical theatre since college, I successfully navigated the BFA/BA MT college audition process. Now, I am well-equipped to guide others through this transformative journey. A skillful piece-finder across genres, I excel at matching the vibe and energy of my students, inspiring the creation of compelling storytelling.

Beyond the arts, my academic prowess extends to tutoring in mathematics. A stellar test-taker, I achieved a score of 790 on the SAT math section and secured a 5 in both AP Calculus AB and BC. Math, to me, is like a second language.
