Verified
Having 18 years of experience teaching in the areas of Philosophy (university) and as a Chemistry and Physics Teacher in Public Sco Systems, Private International Schools and private tutoring, my commitment to education as a Teacher in secondary and post secondary education is vital to my professional life. The range of disciplines I have taught and researched, from general courses in Philosophy, Medical Ethics and Bioethics, Political Philosophy and currently advanced Physics and Chemistry courses in the public and private secondary educational systems, gave me a considerable range of pedagogical methods, research ability and innovative education methods. My career has been dedicated to research and teaching, with a strong focus on fostering a love for critical thinking, interdisciplinary connections between science and lived experience. I have worked with diverse student populations and different age ranges, from early adolescence to young adults ending their university education, which demonstrates my adaptability and commitment to inclusive education. I hold a Licenciate’s degree in Applied Chemistry, specializing in Biotechnology (BSc and MSc), two post graduate degrees in Bioethics and History and Philosophy of Science. I am ABD in the PhD in Philosophy from Michigan State University, and I am currently finishing my MA in Women’s Studies. I am highly proficient in English, with more than 15 years of teaching in English and more than 15 presentations in International Conferences and Symposiums, which makes me an effective and dynamic communicator. My main goal is to inspire my students to develop curiosity and critical thinking about the surrounding world through my passion for learning and teaching.More...
