THINKING, DESIGN AND IMPOSSIBLE PROBLEMS
"From the time of Plato and before some men and women have tackled problems that set them apart and change the modern world. This course examines the way great thinkers have looked at problems and allows the students to work on several impossible problems during the year. The nature of the problems are all multi-disciplinary and no pre-requisites are required except an interest in genius."
​
This was a two semester class taught by Robert Hacker where at every session we would discuss a different topic, bringing in different ideas and perspectives to the most controversial topics nowadays. In this class is where I conducted my MOSS3D research and was able to meet the most amazing mentors and like-minded individuals.
​
This class really challenges you to think outside the box and to not always believe what you are told. If there is one class I recommend taking at FIU is this class (or really any class taught by Hacker). His teaching methodology keeps you interested all semester long and he is genuinely interested in seeing his students thrive.
INTRODUCTION TO MARKETING
This was a class taught by Tim Birritella and also one of my first classes at FIU. Prof. B (allow me to say one of the best professors of my undergrad). He teaches his class with such a passion for marketing that it makes you (the student) follow the content so easily.
​
Prof. B used to always push us to think outside the box and to follow out dreams. From showing us his projects with his baby abuelita doll to bringing different speakers to class I can definitely say it is an amazing class!!
DIGITAL MARKETING WITH GOOGLE
This was my first class I took as part of the Honors College curriculum and the class that peaked my interested in entrepreneurship and innovation given it was taught at StartUP FIU.
​
This was a class taught my professor Kiesha Moodie and different digital marketers focusing on google ads. From a student with no marketing background whatsoever it taught me the importance of knowing your right audience so you can get to the right people.
​
In this class I was able to present two final projects utilizing google ads and digital marketing and learn how to effectively run ad campaigns to meeting desired KPIs. I was also able to get certified as a Google Ads Specialist which is a certification that is in high demand by companies.
STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT
This class takes you through all the strategic management plans for all the big corporations we know nowadays. Allowing us to study and evaluate how is it that big corporations got to the point that they are in so fast.
​
This class peaked my interest in strategy and consulting as a career. Reason why after graduation I am starting a full-time job as a Risk Consultant for a CPA firm.
