About
I am a Secondary Science and Biology teacher from Spain with over two years of full-time teaching experience in Secondary Education (ESO, grades 7–10) and Vocational Education in Health Sciences and Laboratory programs. I hold a BSc in Biology, an MSc in Biomedicine and Molecular Biology, and a Master’s Degree in Secondary Teacher Education.
Before teaching, I worked in cancer research. At TargetsLab (University of Girona), I cultured triple-negative breast cancer cells in 2D and 3D models. At the Catalan Institute of Oncology, I built a clinical database of lung cancer patients and ran survival analyses. This work was published as an abstract in Annals of Oncology and presented at the ESMO Congress. I also taught first-year Medicine students using Problem-Based Learning.
In my classroom I connect science with real-world problems through hands-on lab work, projects and clinical case studies. I currently teach Chemical Analysis, Microbiology and HPLC, and I have taught Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Anatomy and Physiology. I am patient and organized, and I enjoy helping every student succeed, including English learners.
I adapt quickly to new situations and I am very versatile. I have taught a wide range of subjects, levels and programs, often joining a new school mid-year, and I quickly adjust to new students, colleagues and curricula.
I am a native Spanish and Catalan speaker and fluent in English. I have also lived and worked in Ireland. I am excited to bring my passion for science and my international perspective to a U.S. school.
