Biography

College Station, Texas
Education should move beyond ideas that come from learning in the university classroom, help make sense of the everyday life in deep, meaningful ways and from within that movement influence the future. Teaching and learning thus should be a process in which important questions are asked and answered through the examination of real life applications that show the impact of the topic on the everyday life. It is one thing to lecture and expect students to regurgitate information: it’s something completely different when a professor can inspire curiosity, avoid simple information regurgitation, and inspire the future thinkers of tomorrow in significant ways. Moving beyond ideas means that the knowledge passed from professor to student extends beyond the classroom and impacts life. Learning is to understand ideas and concepts: moving beyond learning is to better the world that we live in.

I examined the development of resilience outside of the parent/child relationship via other family members such as cousins, aunts, and uncles. How does resilience develop through other family members when the parents are not around (in this case, deceased)? My work is qualitative in nature, I was able to conduct interviews with 8 members of a family that served as my case study. Interviews took place during the Spring of 2013.The University of Texas at El Paso

I worked with more than six professors in order to learn different teaching styles of academia. I have co-taught courses such as methods of research, human sexuality, and medical sociology (to name just a few). This experience helped me understand what it means to teach in higher education, and helped me begin to develop my own teaching style, which is experience I utilize today.
