Teaching & Mentoring Experience
I currently work as a Teaching Assistant at Columbia University. I have taught six semesters of classes in the Core Curriculum. Each semester this involves teaching around 20 students for two hours each week and giving individual advisory for another two hours each week. Before this, I was a Teaching Assistant at the Center for Research in Economics in Mexico City. I did this for four semesters teaching classes in Political Theory. This involved giving individual advisory to around 20 students for 2 to 3 hours each week.
