I am an astronomy educator who has taught at all academic levels, from primary school to university. My experience also comprises delivery of continuing education and teacher training, along with curriculum and course development. I have additionally lectured on related STEM disciplines such as Earth science, mathematics and computer science.

My career includes over a decade in the information technology field, hence my affinity of computers. I have worked with large grant-funded projects in areas such as healthcare and education, and consistently serve in leadership roles with non-profit organizations—notably the Puerto Rico Astronomy Society, a NASA-affiliated group which I led for six years.

After a competitive review process I was selected as a participant of the 2014–2015 Antarctic field season of PolarTREC, a professional development program funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). In January 2015 I traveled to the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station to conduct maintenance and support work at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory.

As a speaker I have presented hundreds of lectures to groups as large as 500 people. I have also developed and launched a number of public science initiatives, and more recently joined efforts with government and non-profits to reduce light pollution levels across the island. My endeavors are regularly reported by the media, with coverage spanning all seven continents.

I am a recipient of the Antarctica Service Medal of the United States of America (2015) from the NSF. My contributions to education have been recognized by the Puerto Rico Science Teachers Association (2015), the UNESCO Center for Culture (2013), the International Astronomical Union (2010), the Puerto Rico Academy of Arts and Sciences (2008), and NASA / JPL (2005).
