Bio

I am a bilingual A/E/C professional with a passion for teaching and a strong background in facilities and space management, design and construction with over 30 years of experience successfully helping corporate and educational organizations in the US and Mexico.
As a faculty member, I use my professional experience to enhance instruction by providing my students with "real-world" project-based learning opportunities to better prepare them for their careers. My classes are interactive, interesting and fun and I use a variety of delivery methods to fully engage the students and capture their interest, challenging them to think outside the box.

Specialties: Project and Team-based teaching methods, facilities planning, management, budgeting, design-development, project presentations, construction Admin., sustainable design, alternative energy and resource systems, adaptive reuse of facilities, life-cycle costing and project streamlining.
