Formación de Capital Humano


My teaching philosophy is based on providing students with knowledge and skills that will be useful in their future as professionals. With undergraduate students, I develop that knowledge and skills based on recommendations provided to me by external advisory boards that define what students should be able to do when graduated. Additionally, all of my courses contain high impact learning components, allowing students to put into perspective the knowledge and skills learned in class. With my graduate students, I teach them to develop skills needed in their academic careers by encouraging and guiding them to find funding to supports their studies and research, encouraging and helping them to engage in teaching, and collaborating with them in the process of publishing.

Service is a critical component of Community Development. This is a value that I strongly believe in and that I consider as part of my duties in my career. Because of that, I am committed to service reflected in departmental and university activities including coordinating the community development major offered in our department. As part of my service, I also volunteer in professional associations and my community.
