Anything! I am really open to any topic to talk and discuss about. These are some of my favorites:
* How to relate I&E to your life and major.* Creating spaces (virtual and in-place) to feel free to design* Creating workshops for students to learn and apply design thinking.* Testing and Iterating prototypes and ideas!* Teaching and learning spaces* Importance of teamwork and team building* Sports! I really like following figure skating, gymnastics, curling, soccer, etc.* Music! If you want a playlist for any occasion, talk about how music heals your soul or share something about it, I am here for it!* Robotics, Computer Vision and tech!<br />

==Achievements as University Innovation Fellow (2020 Cohort)==
As I was trained as a fellow in Fall 2020 and during this time I had been involved in creating projects for my university. One them is Saphi (or UIWeek) which is a winter-break program for our university students where we teach about  the basics of Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E) Our Cohort main projects were centered in Engineering and Technology majors. Another one is UIWeek which is a 3-day summit that helps students on how to find necessities around us and identify I&E in their majors.sections were we started:
==Fun facts==* One them is Saphi (or UIWeek) which is a winter-break program for our university students where we teach about  the basics of Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E) in Engineering and Technology majors. A smaller version of Saphi is UIWeek which is a 3-day summit imparted during summer-break where students learn how to undertake in their life: major wise, personal wise and degree/major wise. A recent version of this project has been made in March 2022.
* On the other hand the second project we have been working on is in creating “La Innovadora”, a.k.a DesignLab, a virtual space where students can find all the tools they need to have an ideal environment for ideation and creativity in the virtual era. * Our third projects is called "Introduction to Technology Transfer" where students were able to gain knowledge in 4 sessions on how to transfer the technology created in class to the outside world. Al of these projects are part of our UIF Path and we are still working on some of them though new versions since our university is back to presential and hybrid mode (virtual and presential).  After becoming a fellow, I was able to attend the Silicon Valley Meetup in 2022 where I learned amazing things in the workshops, fabs, the UIF Team and from fellows around the globe. This experience had a big impact in me and my team, and now, with Fellows from different cohots in UTEC we are aiming to do new projects as well as sharing experiences that can help fellows and faculties. <br /> ==Fun facts about me== * I love playing guitar and make some covers of songs (even though I almost never publish it).* Dog lover! Even though I don't have a pet, whenever I visit family or friends I love spending time with their pets too.* I really like to know more about life in different places in the world. * Teaching became a essential part of me, whenever I can I love to help others with tutoring and little engineering classes.
