Experience
Instituto Agrícola Pascual Baburizza, Chile / 2014 - 2017: - Teacher of English as a Foreign Language (Primary/Secondary Education) - Planning Educational Programs for English classes based on Learning One to One methodology. - Collection of evidence for PME actions, based on Ley SEP. - Active member in Calle Larga Opens to the World network. - Leader of activities such as Zumbaxé, Spoken Novel, IAPB’s Got Talent, Video Music Awards, among others. I stood out for being a professional with high self-demanding standards. Regarding work, I remained in a constant search to innovate in my teaching work, which generated a high commitment on the part of my students with me as a teacher. Also, as a colleague, I always worked with great commitment and responsibility with regard to teamwork, putting above all the fulfillment of my work in projects and tasks assigned, adding to this the contribution of fresh and implementable ideas, such as the "Talent Shows", “Video Music Awards” or "Spoken Novels" that year after year I carried out together with my students and also with some colleagues’ support. On the other hand, I was in charge of the Curricular Design of a new methodology implemented at the institute since 2013, SERF (Fontán’s Relational Educational System) or better known in the USA as Learning One to One, for primary and secondary levels. In relation to this, I could enhance my social skills, working together with some of my colleagues, articulating two or three school subjects in the same activity and, at the same time, sharing knowledge from our different areas of expertise. C.E.I.A. Monseñor Alfredo Silva, Chile / 2013 - 2014: - Teacher of English as a Foreign Language (Adults Education) - Teacher of ICTs After completing my Professional Practicum in this Educational Center for adults, I was invited to cover the period of pregnancy of one of its English teachers. As a first work experience in the educational field, I was able to lay the basis to begin building myself as a teacher and assess my performance as such. At the end of the academic year, I received recognition as "Outstanding Professor, 2013" by EDA Perla from the Eighth Region of Chile. Despite the fact that I hold a Master Degree in Communication and Education, I have been out of the Education field since March 2017. This is basically because I decided to travel the world, knowing different cultures and being open to receive their contributions to my mindset as well as the knowledge Scandinavian countries--such as Denmark and Sweden, have changed my way of thinking. While doing this, I would like to get in touch with some students through private lessons and work as a Spanish Teacher, and let it flow with passion and dedication even for intercultural exchange purposes as well.

Hobbies
I do not practice any sport, but I try to be fit so I go to the gym four times a week, eat healthy and bike a lot. Every now and then I read articles about Education, Communication and Politics as well, but also my interest for reading covers English literature or just some trash news on the social media. A combination of chat&coffee or chat&beer is always welcome, especially when it is at fresco :)
