My classmates and I were awarded second place at the congress of the Mexican Association of Members from Faculties and Schools of Nutrition. Here's the poster (Spanish) I presented together with my classmates. Here's the article (Spanish) that went together with the presentation.

About Me

Who am I? I'll try to briefly describe myself. I was a student at the Escuela de Dietetica y Nutricion in Mexico City. I studied nutrition, which means I'm very interested in how nutrients make our body work. In addition I love teaching and currently work giving Business English classes. I enjoy helping people learn by making my classes interesting and meaningful; the mind is a wonderful tool.

I read all kind of books, but the genres I enjoy the most are science fiction (the Harry Potter kind, not the Star-Trek) and novels. I also enjoy reading science articles from Medical and Nutrition Journals. I enjoy a wide variety of music from Lenny Kravitz, Aerosmith, and Shakira to The Beatles. I like fine wine, good food (my brother besides being incredibly handsome is a great cook) and sports. The kind of wine I like the most is made from the grape "Merlot" (I took a Diploma Course in Enology, so I enjoy sampling different wines). For my work outs, I mostly run or do ergometer every day. I'm addicted to endorphins.

My favorite book of all-time is El libro secreto de Grazia dei Rossi by Jaqueline Park. Other favorites include
: Summer Sisters, by Judy Blume; Where the Heart Is, by Billie Letts; Corazón, by Edmundo de Amicis; and Galileo's Daughter, by Dava Sobel.

I like going out, mainly to the movies, but I also like
to visit museums, theaters, or to just hang out with my friends. My favorite movies are "Dead Poet's Society" and "The Last Unicorn". I'm also a Star Wars fan.

Three things which I like and always put me in a good mood are
wine, chocolate and sunflowers.

Well, I'm sure that was more than you wanted to know. But in case you haven't fallen asleep, thanks for reading this far. You might even want to send me an email
