Teaching

I am currently acting TA to ESC1000 (Introduction to Earth Sciences — Classroom) for the Fall 2023. Students are welcome to address their inquiries and schedule appointments via email (Canvas) or stop by Room 253, Williamson Hall.

"A Scientist in Every Florida School" (or SEFS) is an outreach initiative intended to promote science in public schools across the state of Florida. PhD candidates, college professors, and researchers in STEM joined their efforts offering free science lectures.
As a firm believer in equal opportunities and inclusivity, my classes are offered (and will always be) in English and Spanish. My teaching material is aligned with the Earth Science topics requested at the SSA (Statewide Science Assessment) of the State of Florida.
