• Can you tell us about your first experience using a computer?

  Since I was a child, I enjoyed designing houses, making models, crafts, drawing; then over time and with the help of my father (who is also an architect), I realized that Architecture was my calling. I used to assist him in digitizing his plans, his 3D designs, and I grew fonder of the profession. When I decided to start studying Architecture, I felt very confident about what I wanted to be in my life, despite many people not supporting me at the time.

• Tell us more about the subject you teach, the topics you like to discuss with students (and possibly those you like a little less).

  I believe that Architecture is fundamental for society because it provides us with the environment in which we live since everything that is built needs to be thought out and designed first. Design programs like AutoCAD and SketchUp are essential to express, design, and bring to reality what one imagines in the mind.

• Did you have any role models; a teacher that inspired you?

  My father was a fundamental support during my formation at the University. It was like having a teacher with me 24/7 at home. I remember there were drawings and models that I had to redo two or three times, not because of the university professors, but because of my father. He taught me to be extremely detail-oriented and to develop patience.

• What do you think are the qualities required to be a good tutor?

  Knowledge, discipline, empathy, patience, curiosity, kindness.

• Provide a valuable anecdote related to your subject or your days at school.

  I remember I had a professor at the University who, at the beginning of the career, failed me in an exam and commented that "I was not fit for Architecture because I made a sketch that, according to him, was not done well," which was not true. Over time, I continued taking classes with this professor while everyone else took classes with other, perhaps easier, professors. But I persisted with this "demanding" professor and never failed. Later, I had the opportunity to invite him as a jury member for the defense of my postgraduate thesis, which was excellent. I told him, "I remember that time you told me to change my major, and I didn't because I was sure of what I wanted to be." The point is, if you truly love what you're studying, obstacles can be overcome with discipline and perseverance. You learn more from a "demanding" professor than from a less demanding one, and you'll realize it in the future.

• What were the difficulties or challenges you faced or still facing in your subject?

  Fortunately, before starting to study Architecture, I took several courses and prepared myself well, learning these design programs to excel better at the University.

• Do you have a particular passion? Is it teaching in general or an element of the subject or something completely different?

  I enjoy traveling, visiting theaters, art museums, heritage buildings, etc.

• What makes you a Superprof?

  What my students like the most is that the classes are dynamic, I empathize with them, and I try to break the ice quickly to make the encounter more enjoyable. Also, I adapt to their needs. At the moment, I only teach classes in Spanish.
