TEACHING EXPERTISE
Throughout my academic career I have utilized innovative pedagogical techniques to promote active learning at the undergraduate and graduate level. Even in large introductory courses, it is possible, perhaps even necessary, to create intimate learning environments so that students can engage with the material and the instructor in a dynamic setting. Through a variety of basic techniques, including small group discussions, role-playing, and the application of basic teaching technologies like clickers and course management systems, I have engaged my students in the teaching and learning process.
My topical areas of strength lie in Modern Latin American history, with a geographical focus on the Greater Caribbean region, with a particular strength in Cuba and Central America. While I have been on a full-time administrative assignment since January 2007, I voluntarily taught an Honors College Seminar on Revolution in Latin America in the spring 2014 semester. The course culminated with a unique capstone experience: a one-week trip to Bolivia to follow the Trail of Che Guevara.

Service to the Community
The University of South Florida is a Carnegie-designated Community Engaged University for Outreach and Partnerships as well as Curricular Engagement. I have contributed to the University’s engagement with the community through my personal work with the Cuban Club of Tampa as well as my supervision of the Office of Community Engagement and Partnerships. Community engagement, particularly service learning, is a valuable means of promoting student and faculty success. I have therefore practiced and promoted teaching, learning, scholarship, and outreach that has enriched my scholarship and benefited the community and USF.
I spent over ten years applying my knowledge of the history of Cuba and Cubans in Tampa to the preservation of El Círculo Cubano de Tampa (commonly known as the Cuban Club), a mutual aid society founded in 1899 to serve the Cuban American community of Tampa. I served as a President of the Cuban Club, as well as a member of the Cuban Club Foundation, a charitable organization that is responsible for raising funds to preserve and renovate the Cuban Club. My service to the club took various forms, from recruiting members, staffing the building during events, submitting grant proposals, writing historical articles, and developing historical displays. The club has been brought back to life and the building, listed on the National Register of Historic Place, has been restored and renovated.
The following lists a few of the positions and activities I undertook as part of my effort to promote the revival and restoration of the Cuban Club:
President, Cuban Club Foundation, 2004-2005. A 501 (c) (3) organization founded in 1992 to preserve and renovate the Cuban Club, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972
