TRAJECTORY
Social Activism
INSPIRATION
Guided by intuition I wished to comprehend what was behind
fear and harmony,
two emotions that had marked my path early on in my life.
This lead me to engage on an intense and dedicated exploratory
multidisciplinary and multicultural journey working within the formal education process
in the United States and Latin America.
For three decades I created and applied cultural diversity, race relations, multidisciplinary bilingual (English and Spanish) classroom, community and teacher training strategies.
This work became the backbone of the intervention and award-winning
DIALOGO, an Education Program to Improve Human Relations.

Phase III program participants collected and organized the results and shared them with a new teachers and education college students' cohort.
