English teacher at Colegio Monteverde, designing communicative lessons and inclusive adaptations for neurodivergent students.

Message

At Colegio Monteverde, I design and deliver communicative English lessons based on real-life scenarios, helping students build practical skills in reading, writing, listening, and speaking. I also adapt teaching strategies and curricula to meet neurodivergent students’ learning needs.

At Colegio Monteverde, I direct the secondary school scientific research program, guiding students through research design, data analysis, and academic defense. As head librarian, I curated a collection of more than 1,000 bibliographic works and supported students and faculty in evaluating sources.

As an independent academic research and thesis advisor, I’ve mentored more than 50 high school and undergraduate students in research design, academic writing, and citation standards. I’ve also trained students in quantitative data analysis using SPSS and Microsoft Excel.

At Apurímac Onlus ETS, I advised migrants on immigration procedures and legal regularization, conducted mental health screenings, and managed medical and legal cases. My psychology and research work has also included clinical evaluations, a validated survey on gender-based violence, and support for migrant communities.
