I have a Bachelor’s degree in Finances and a Master's degree in Family Sciences. I’ve been involved in education for seven years. My experience in education comes from being an academic coordinator and teacher from middle school to postgraduate students from different backgrounds and interests and in different institutions from different locations in Mexico. These granted me the opportunity to meet teachers with very different training, styles and talents and I’ve learned that generating the proper environment for them to share their experience and knowledge with colleagues, generates a learning culture and a good attitude towards improvement and to try different things in class.
