My teaching methodology is through projects and cases when biology-related classes, this way students are able to relate terms and concepts with real-life cases. For chemistry the best way is doing exercises, I work with them developing the most difficult ones.
I am a scientist, I have worked with biotechnology, cancer research, molecular biology, COVID project. I have experience teaching High school kids, college students, and postgrad students. I did my bachelor's degree in Colombia, I worked at UofT as a postdoctoral fellow.
