artificial intelligence is used in education. I also advise on biological systemsengineering education.In 2019, when I started my Ph.D., I met Heydi and Juan Carlos from the Biological SystemsEngineering department. I also reconnected with Elias from the same department. We all share aGuatemalan background and speak Spanish, which brought us close. Together with Heydi, weworked to improve teaching assistant programs, focusing on using technology in teaching. Weheld workshops to promote collaboration between the education and biosystems engineeringdepartments and co-wrote a paper on digital tools in classrooms, emphasizing team building. Mywork in biosystems engineering expanded, including summer projects like advanced manuremanagement techniques

) in 2021. Two of her students in Biology Education have been the recipients of the Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST), which is the highest honors bestowed by the United States government specifically for STEM teachers. One of her students was awarded the Maryland Teacher of the Year award in 2019. Her research interests and expertise include micro and macroalgal ecology; seaweeds in human health and nutrition; biomonitoring and biosorption potential of seaweeds and seagrasses; bioenergy from algae; water quality; and sustainable robotic farming with applications of seaweeds as biostimulants. She is the recipient of various research and teaching awards, and has published
