About

****THIS PAGE IS STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION****

My undergraduate degree is in Oceanology, with a focus on non-renewable marine resources, and marine pollution with my undergraduate research thesis in Biofacies of Recent Benthic Foraminifera in Bahia Concepción , B.C.S. México.

My graduate work focused on the water quality of a reservoir in an agriculturally intensive watershed in the Midwest. During this time, I also was responsible for the “Coralville Reservoir Water Quality Project” for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

A new project for 2010 is teaching/developing a pilot class in "Leadership Development" where we plan on improving the leadership skills of our students while getting them more involved in their communities.

During summer (09) I was responsible for teaching “Math 90”, & “Math 91” classes as part of the STEP (Summer Transition to Engineering Program) where a 87% improvement in my students math level was achieved in 6 weeks.

I have also taught "Robotics”, “Cartoon Animation”, "Ethics for the Professional Engineers", "Introduction to Environmental Engineering", "Water Quality", "Environmental Contemporary Issues", “Environment, Society and Technology”, and "Economics for Engineers". Other relevant activities are assisting in first and second year student advisement, and acting as the faculty adviser for the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) student chapter.

At present I am also the faculty adviser for the M.S. Environmental Science program for the incoming graduate students (all options) and graduate coordinator for the environmental engineering and science option. This also means that I am part of a team that are working on
restructuring the program so that the paperwork is more streamlined.
