Profiles

I'm a Research Project Specialist at Tecnológico de Monterrey. My work covers the intersection of neuroscience and education, mapping and classifying the skills people will need in the future, critical thinking, and Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL).

I trained first as a scientist, with a BS in Biotechnology Engineering, and then completed a Master's in Education, both at Tecnológico de Monterrey. Alongside research I teach: I taught International Baccalaureate mathematics at Madison International School, and I now lead creativity and agility courses for elementary and kindergarten students at Creagility.

I want to share my passion for learning, both in the classroom and as an education researcher. I'm based in Monterrey, Mexico, and I speak Spanish, English, some French, and a little Korean.
