My interests focus on mathematics, mathematics education, and educational technology, with particular emphasis on curriculum, mathematics teaching and learning, problem solving, and the design and evaluation of digital resources and active learning methodologies. I am interested in exploring how simulations, visualization, interactive environments, and flipped learning can contribute to students’ conceptual understanding, motivation, and academic achievement. In the field of university extension and outreach, my interests include teacher education, science and mathematics communication, the development of digital competencies, and the design of inclusive educational experiences.

I hold bachelor’s and licentiate degrees in Computer-Assisted Mathematics Education, a programme currently known as Mathematics Education with Technological Environments, from the Costa Rica Institute of Technology. I am currently pursuing a Professional Master’s Degree in Educational Technology and Innovation at the National University of Costa Rica. My academic background is grounded in mathematics education, the pedagogical integration of digital technologies, and the design of learning experiences aimed at educational innovation.

Since 2010, I have worked as a mathematics professor in the School of Natural and Exact Sciences at the San Carlos Local Technological Campus of the Costa Rica Institute of Technology, where I teach mathematics courses for various engineering degree programmes and participate in research, outreach, and educational innovation initiatives. My professional experience includes teaching mathematics at both secondary and university levels, academic coordination, teacher education and support, and the design of educational materials and resources supported by digital technologies. I have also participated in projects aimed at strengthening mathematics education, promoting science communication, developing digital competencies, and supporting rural, border, and Indigenous communities.

Spanish: native language.

English: intermediate level, B1 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

French: upper-intermediate level, B2 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

I engage in continuous professional development in mathematics education, university teaching, and educational technology. I have participated in courses, workshops, conferences, and training activities related to active learning methodologies, assessment, digital resource design, virtual learning environments, inclusive education, research, and the pedagogical use of technologies such as GeoGebra, LaTeX, and educational platforms. This continuing education strengthens my teaching practice and my involvement in research, outreach, and educational innovation projects.
