TEACHING
Teaching Portfolio
I believe that education is the most important tool we have to make the world a better place. Therefore, I am dedicated to teaching in different contexts, such as lecturing, mentoring students, and engaging in outreach activities. I believe that good teaching occurs when 1) students are encouraged to be active in their own learning process, 2) diversity is respected and celebrated, and 3) the instructors are continuously learning.

Mentoring
My mentoring philosophy is structured into five main pillars: Communication, Autonomy, Respect, Engagement, and CARE. I believe that a good mentor-mentee relationship is a key to a healthy working environment and, consequently, to success in doing research. As a mentor, I support a horizontal relationship (i.e., characterized by democracy, equality, and reciprocity) between me as a mentor and my mentees.
Mentoring
Philosophy
My commitment to inclusive and equitable education is grounded in my personal experience. As a child, I studied in a highly diverse school. Having peers with different backgrounds and worldviews showed me how much we can learn and grow when diversity is celebrated. Importantly, the school I attended was a reference educational center for deaf and blind students. Interacting with my peers with visual and hearing impairments showed me that education should and could be more inclusive. Ever since, I have been interested in promoting more equitable education tools, the reason why I have pursued training in Educational Psychology, and had done research with children and adults with learning disabilities, genetic syndromes, and low socioeconomic status.
