STATEMENT ON INCLUSION
Promoting inclusion is the best practice in both academic and professional settings. I understand inclusion as biodiversity, a sign of healthy ecosystems. My experience with inclusion and diversity is rich and diverse, spanning a range of roles, from being a seeker to formal training, teaching in a small town of America with tremendous diversity, and being an immigrant to the US as an active member of the Hispanic community. I seek to utilize my nineteen years of experience as an educator to design, coordinate, assess, and engage the learning community in educational and experiential initiatives that enhance cultural representation and foster artistic appreciation.
