About Page Photo Daniel Friedman

Daniel Friedman
Founder

I started Modern Teen in 2018 at 18 years old to create the kind of content I wish I had growing up, honest, useful, and future-focused.
After graduating high school early and starting college at 16, I quickly realized the traditional path didn’t have all the answers. So I built my own, and this blog is a big part of it.
Outside of writing, I’m usually working out, exploring outdoors, or diving into new ideas. Modern Teen is where I share what I’ve learned (and keep learning), so you can move into adulthood with clarity and confidence.

With a background in cooking, tax prep, and outdoor exploration, Jonus understands the value of hard work, self-growth, and clear communication. When he’s not writing about life’s big transitions, you’ll find him hiking through nature in search of the kind of views you can’t capture through a screen.

With a background in English, theatre, and teaching students with visual impairments, she’s all about making ideas accessible and engaging. When she’s not writing, she’s raising a curious kid, tending to her thriving houseplants, or busy reading a book. Her work blends heart, humor, and a love for the details most people miss.
