About Me
I began my career teaching Spanish as a second language in 1978 when I met CIDOC (Centro de Documentación en Cuernavaca) Morelos. In that year he studied anthropology at the National School of Anthropology and History in Mexico City. I was invited to the IDEAL school to prepare myself in teaching Spanish as a second language. I learned from this great opportunity to know the Spanish language getting knowledge in andragogy. For several years I continued to study and research more about andragogy and pragmatics.
In 1980 I learned about Communication Experience in Cuernavaca and joined the team of Spanish teachers applying methods such as the FSI (Foreing Service Intitute) as well as studying and attending Diplomas in the Teaching of Spanish as a Second Language in several universities in Mexico.
I did volunteer work in 1985 for a year for the Diocese of San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas to work with Guatemalan refugees inside the Lacandona Jungle on the border with Guatemala. I gained extraordinary experiences knowing first-hand the situation of Guatemalan refugees in the border state of Chiapas, Mexico. Lesley College conducted an interview of my work where she showed the precarious situation in which Guatemalan refugees lived. When I returned I joined The Center for Bilingual and Multicultural Studies in the city of Cuernavaca, where I coordinated excursions to different cities and/or archaeological sites and museums.
Later I joined the UAEM (National Autonomous University of the State of Morelos) where I taught Spanish classes, coordinated groups, was a lecturer and offered the first Spanish Diploma for future teachers within the same university in 2000.
In 2003 I traveled to the United States to work with LACA (Latino Advocacy in Community Affairs) there I created and opened immersion programs to culture in Mexico with UNIVAC (Universidad del Valle de Cuernavaca)
