I am a Professor in the Teacher Education Department in the STEM Education Division at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) and am currently serving as the Interim Dean in the College of Health Sciences UTEP. As a Professor, my academic areas of expertise are in science education, curriculum development and technology integration in the K-12 levels. Additionally, I develop, research and teach materials related to problem-based learning, project-based learning, active learning and action science. Additionally, I have produced scholarly materials and creative works that attempt to reach and to involve the marginalized student, in order to positively impact students' self-perception and their social and educational mobility. I have also served in administrative roles including Interim Dean of the College of Education, Associate Dean, Associate Provost, co-Chair of the Teacher Education Department and Director of the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Education Division.
