A Latina Professor’s Journey into Research and Advocacy
My journey in engineering education started from wanting to use evidence-based practices in my classroom, aiming to create a collaborative and inclusive environment for my students. Navigating through the challenges of being a contingent faculty, I’ve gathered resources to enhance my practice and research in engineering education, and I’m here to share them all with you.
Now, as an Assistant Professor with the Engineering Education Department and affiliated faculty to the Chemical Engineering Department at the University of Florida part of my research centers in equitable approaches for faculty support and reward systems. I am a Latina chemical engineering professor learning how to navigating my professional identities as an educator, social researcher, and communicator. I don’t have everything figured out, but this podcast and website is an intentional effort to grow.
I have dedicated my career to serve and educate others by creating resources that can help them in their careers. For my students, I enjoy creating technical and skill-based content that can help them in their future careers. For my faculty peers, I share best practices in teaching-learning, time management, service, and action research. Click below to access my always-increasing repository of resources.
Speaking Engagements
We learn better from engaging with other stories and perspectives. A big part of my service has been facilitating professional development for faculty, students, staff, and industry folks. This service comes from watching my mom doing the same when she was a middle school teacher. My current speaking engagements topics include scholarship of teaching and learning, teaching practices with teams, diversity, equity, and inclusion in engineering.
Scientists study the world as it is; Engineers create the world that has never been.
