I was born in Hong Kong, but grew up in the GTA. Before joining Tyndale, I completed a MDes in Design for Health, and a Bsc in Biology & Medical Cell Biology. I have a keen interest in exploring the role of counselling in God’s Kingdom and its integration in ministry. I am currently involved in organizing bible seminars for the Chinese congregation at my church.
 

I joined the student council because I believe in fostering strong connections and companionship among students. As I progressed in my studies, I found my academic journey being further enriched once I began to build meaningful relationships with my peers. These connections deepened my educational experience into one that is more fun and fulfilling. Apart from my team’s Mission Statement, during my term, I aim to advocate for more opportunities where relationships can naturally develop and students feel a sense of belonging and shared purpose. I am particularly passionate about organizing events that promote community bonding and student collaboration.

In my free time, I enjoy going to the gym and reading. A fun fact about me is I learned tennis this summer.

My name is Daniel-Joshua Bassey, and I have the privilege of serving as the Vice President of Online Students for the TUAA. I am currently in my second year of the Master’s in Theological Studies program, building on a foundation laid during my bachelor’s degree in psychology. I am from Nigeria, a beautiful nation in West Africa, where I was raised by my parents, both pastors, who instilled in me a profound love for God and His people. My commitment to ministry has taken me across Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, where I have been privileged to contribute to the development of pastors and the empowerment of youth through innovative discipleship programs.
 

Joining the student council has been a pivotal step in my journey, allowing me to enhance my leadership skills, collaborate with incredible people, and serve our Tyndale community. My vision is to create a dynamic space where students can collaborate on new ministry ideas—whether that be designing digital worship experiences, developing online discipleship programs, or creating tools that support ministry in diverse contexts, creating an online community for our students.

Outside of my academic and ministerial commitments, I am an avid soccer fan and player, proudly supporting Arsenal. I also have a passion for reading books that challenge and stimulate intellectual growth.

I am originally from Hefei, China. Before joining Tyndale Seminary, I completed my undergrad on Elementary Education in Pensacola Christian College. I have a keen interest in theological studies, which has deepened my understanding of doctrinal perspectives and the Bible's historical context through the experienced professors at Tyndale.

I joined the student council because I want to be able to help more students. As much as our team’s mission is to cultivate a Christian community that develops our identity as God’s beloved. We recognize our diversity, foster inclusion, and nurture a sense of belonging among the student body. We worship Jesus through intentional in-person and virtual interactions, embracing creativity to facilitate enriching student experiences. During my term, I aim to encourage students' engagement and foster meaningful conversation to create an inclusive environment where every voice is heard, valued, and contributes to our collective growth.

In my free time, I enjoy engaging in conversations with friends, listening to their personal stories and experiences to witness God's work in their lives. I’m a huge cat lover! If you have a pet, I’d love to chat with you!
