Daniel Winter
Racine,WI
Summary
My name is Daniel Winter, and I've always been driven to explore diverse interests and make meaningful connections. Throughout my journey, I've held positions across five different jobs, including founding my own photography business, Dw.photography, which I launched during my 8th-grade summer. Through my business, I've aimed to capture the essence of life's most precious moments, bringing joy and happiness to those I work with.
Beyond photography, I've also found fulfillment in communication and public speaking. At J.I. Case High School, I took on the role of announcer for morning announcements and various sporting events, such as basketball games as well as "Student section coordinator" of case. This experience not only honed my skills but also fueled my passion for engaging with audiences and practicing good communication with others around me.
Additionally, I've had the privilege of serving as an MC/Teen for RFK (Royal Family Kids), a summer camp dedicated to fostering positive experiences for children in need. This role allowed me to connect with and uplift young campers, further solidifying my commitment to making a difference.
My passion is undeniable communicating with others, even in high-pressure situations . With a reputation for professionalism and enthusiasm, I'm eager to pursue a career where I can continue to leverage my creativity and communication skills to make an impact.
