     Welcome to my e-portfolio. This e-portfolio is designed to provide you with information regarding my education, professional experience and personal history.

     I am originally from Venezuela. Before immigrating to the United States, I studied Systems Organization and Administration at "Colegio Universitario de Caracas" (College University of Caracas). After relocating to the U.S., I found myself having to start my career over from scratch. I have a daughter and I discovered, through caring for her, that I wanted to study education.

   I recently completed a Master Program in Special Education because I love working with students who have diverse learning needs. Hunter College equipped me with more ideas, strategies and techniques. I gained a deeper understanding of learning differences and I am looking forward to work from now on as a Special Educaiton Teacher. I want to provide the best support for my students and their families.

     I have completed the Technology Teacher Education Program at New York City College of Technology and I have received my initial Certification to teach students from 7th through 12th grade. Most of the courses that I took are related to education, how to teach ELA, Math, Science, Social Studies and Technology. 

     As a teacher I feel a responsibility to faithfully relay to the students important knowledge. Students have the right to become technologically literate and independent thinkers. Students will practice their problem solving skills, enhance their critical thinking and be guided in their career path. I have taught courses related to technology and all its systems: manufacturing, electronics, construction, communications, transportation, and concepts of biotechnology. There are also other subjects that are of interest to students: principles of engineering, design and drafting, robotics, green technology and the use of various computer programs.

     I love working as a teacher and interacting with students in a classroom. Every single day my priority is that students be treated with respect in a safe and nurturing environment that promotes learning. In other words, the way we treat each other matters. If the classroom promotes respect and motivation, the students will perform well and they are going to learn. Students need people who create a positive influence in their lives. I am always working hard to be a positive model for them.

     All my students are in my heart and their smiles motivate me to continue working hard, with love and enthusiasm. 

     Thank you for visiting my e-portfolio!
