Instituto Franklin - UAH

I think working in the field of Education is a privilege. In class you can see how you can make a difference in your students’ lives and personal development. I am lucky to have a very creative work where I can design and participate in new research projects and collaborate with other institutions.

I love American culture and helping students in their Study Abroad experience. Working at the Instituto Franklin-UAH offers me the opportunity to live both. I like that it allows me to put into practice my main passion, teaching, and that it gives me the opportunity to apply my intra and interpersonal skills.

My job is very dynamic and there isn't a "typical" day. Since I have a variety of responsibilities, I really like that each day is not so regimented or monotonous...it's fun and exciting to see what will happen! Something that I do every day is greet my colleagues, students, and faculty. Some days, I go on excursions or site visits with students (I may have to translate at these visits). Other days, I organize institutional visits and attend to visitors from other institutions who may want to develop programs at Instituto Franklin-UAH. I am always updating our programs, creating materials, and setting up conference calls with partners, prospective students, and institutions. My office is always available to students and interns, thus I am usually attending to their needs or giving them professional development discussions. Most of the time, I prepare for my class or future conferences where I will be presenting. I also organize these international trips.
