My experience, knowledge and wisdom are instruments I use and offer to support the evolutionary process of the human race. The combination of strong hands-on personal development, institutional, leadership, and communication experience and skills and a lifelong exposure to multicultural, multilingual and multigenerational communities allow me to comfortably embrace change and uncertainty. As founder and Director of the Latin American Resource Center, LARC, Raleigh, North Carolina, I created and managed: a non-profit dedicated to the creation of integrated education tools and strategies for K-16 students; an international arts residency and a community and schools dance and music multicultural approach to address issues of cultural identity throughout the Americas; a bilingual TV Series, a communication strategy to address social issues impacting education; a traveling bilingual international exhibit "Can We Move Beyond Stereotypes?, a training tool based on drawings from children from different parts of the Americas which portray their perceptions of people from different cultural backgrounds; summer, after school, and teacher apprenticeship programs, rural and urban school and community outreach strategies to support the evolution of the field of education and a strategy to gather and integrate the knowledge, experience and wisdom of all education stakeholders and to use the collected information as the base upon which teachers design relevant teaching tools and strategies.
