Summary

With over 14 years of professional experience, my core competencies lie in English Language Teaching (ELT) and Applied Linguistics, which I bring to the forefront in my role at Universidad Autónoma de Ciudad Juárez. My mission is to enhance language education through innovative and effective pedagogical methods. My expertise in Linguistics and ESL instruction dovetails with the university's commitment to academic excellence and cultural diversity, enabling me to contribute unique perspectives and experiences that enrich our educational community. Recently, I embraced a month-long teaching engagement at UACJ, where I applied my specialized knowledge in ESL and linguistics teaching. This role allowed me to refine my instructional strategies and further my dedication to fostering an engaging and supportive learning environment for students mastering English as a second language. It was a reaffirmation of my passion for language education and my ability to adapt and excel in dynamic academic settings.
