David鈥檚 community engagement roots run deep. Before joining 开元棋牌, he spent seven years as Director of Community Engagement at New Vue Communities in Fitchburg, where he founded the Elm Street Area Neighborhood Association, two community gardens, and the annual Trick or Treat on Main Street. He also served on the Fitchburg School Committee for four years, engaging residents in meaningful school and community improvements.

David holds a Master of Education in Curriculum and Instructional Leadership from the University of Illinois at Chicago and a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with a minor in History from Binghamton University. His earlier career includes teaching Puerto Rican History at the Dr. Pedro Albizu-Campos High School and leading the Youth First! Campaign in Chicago.
