I studied Computer Science and Pedagogy as well as earning a Master in English language education and teaching. I am the CEO of ooLango E-Learning, LLC, GEG Tlaxcala leader, Canvassador: Tlaxcala, MagicSchool AI pioneer, Google Educator, Duolingo Ambassador, Kahoot, Flip, Wakelet and more.

English language teaching and learning. Helping people find the right way to connect knowledge with its application and make it meaningful to them. To spark creativity, positive changes and lasting impacts on people and things that are very useful and optimal for everyone and anyone willing to step forward. To do something better than yesterday and improve more than last year's accomplishments. I have my own ed-tech startup called ooLango E-Learning, LLC and we bring high quality educational courses, webinars, presentations, workshops and more to all our educational communities in Tlaxcala and beyond.

My ideas worth spreading have to do with Education Reform and innovation in the education world. Whether it be face to face or online learning, innovation and creativity are good tools to have in the belt. Problem solving is something that no matter where or what...we all should learn and do. It's not only useful inside a math classroom, but every single day we are alive. Keep on problem-solving!

I was not a good English student when in middle and high school. I did get very good grades for reading and writing, but I was lower than average in English. I never thought that I would one day teach the same subject that I dreaded as a child. My father encouraged me one day to apply for a English teacher position albeit I felt less than ready. It seemed to me that I would make it into the IT or cyber security job sector...however things took a turn. Listening to him (my Dad) and undergoing Teacher EFL training was one of the best choices I have made. One of my goals now, is to help and teach others so they too can overcome things they never thought they would be doing and show them how amazing one can become when they abandon their "comfort zone". I thank God, my family and colleagues for all their support and input to me, I would have not achieved all of this alone.

Audio editing, Linux, avid tea drinker, enjoy Legos, basketball, running and football. Solving problems and battling my Aspergers...as much as I can.
