L ANGUAGE
I enthusiastically taught “Exploration in Design” for two semesters. My role entailed hands-on experimentation with various materials and environments, while deliberately avoiding the use of computers. This experience was truly remarkable and allowed me to learn a great deal from my students while also sharing my
Spanish
knowledge with them.
