Fun Facts
In my free time, I love to paint, play the piano, read books and dance. I have 3 dogs, a pit-bull, an old english bulldog, and a pomsky. I am the middle child of 3 sisters. I was born in Colombia, therefore Spanish is my first language. My dream is someday to visit Machu Picchu, Peru.
About Me
I am a senior at Rutgers University. I was born in Colombia, and moved to the United States when I was 3 years told. My goal is to become a doctor. I aspire to attend New Jersey Medical School in Newark, New Jersey.
Experience
I am currently a teaching intern and a learning assistant for Organic Chemistry at Rutgers University. For my Spanish experience, I currently am an interpreter at Eric B. Chandler health clinic in brunswick">New Brunswick, where I facilitate patient visits. I also work at brunswick">New Brunswick high school as an AVID tutor, where I help the students with any subjects that they may be struggling with.
Approach
Growing up, I believed that the traditional " the teacher instructed and students followed", approach to education was best. As I taught for Rutgers University, and learned about the philosophy of teaching, I realized that a social constructive approach to teaching may work best for long term, and deep understanding. My current approach is to not simply " tell" the students what the answer is, but instead be a facilitator in their learning through discursive movements.
