Say a little bit about your academic journey.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t feel ready for a four-year institution, and I didn\u2019t know what I wanted to do, so I went to community college and picked programming, an art class, a music class, and psychology. Psychology instantly attracted me. The kind of questions they were asking, the history, the research involved\u2014it was intriguing.<\/p>\n

I transferred to San Jose State University and continued my psychology degree, but I still didn\u2019t have a career path set. Finally, a professor sat down with me and asked, \u201cWhat do you want to do?\u201d That was the first time anyone asked me that, and that\u2019s when I decided I really liked the college atmosphere. I wanted to stay\u2014I loved tutoring my classmates and other students.<\/p>\n

I went to graduate school at University of Buffalo in New York and switched to biological sciences, because I wanted to understand how the physical brain works. After that, I did a postdoc at the University of Rochester.<\/p>\n

I eventually landed at at Wartburg College, a small liberal arts college in Iowa. After two years, I chose Goucher because it had opportunities for me to grow as a faculty member. I like to make my own programs, and we don\u2019t have a neuroscience program. I am very interested in being involved with developing something that.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve done research with orphan G protein coupled receptors, but I don\u2019t know what that means.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

We call it basic science, because I don\u2019t have a disease I\u2019m trying to cure. There\u2019s a lot we don\u2019t know about the human body, or mammals in general. From the Human Genome Project, we learned about every gene we have. We learned there\u2019s a whole bunch of genes we didn\u2019t understand the function of. So we studied those and realized they make proteins. Your cells use the proteins for all its actions.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t know what a lot of them do, but some looked similar to ones we do know, so we can group them together. There\u2019s a potassium channel important for the heart. Without this potassium channel, the heart doesn\u2019t beat in a regular rhythm. This other one also looks like it, but not exactly, so it\u2019s probably related. We call it an orphan, because we don\u2019t know what it does and we don\u2019t know how it works. But we know they\u2019re grouped together.<\/p>\n

So, my interest stems from those orphans and trying to figure out what they do. That\u2019ll give us more knowledge and it might solve some puzzling disease eventually if it\u2019s a problem with one of these proteins.<\/p>\n

How do you like the Baltimore area so far?<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I think it\u2019s fantastic. I moved here with my wife and two kids. When we first arrived [from Iowa], we had sushi two or three days in a row because we just had not had it for so long.<\/p>\n

When I was looking at Goucher, I found the faculty-in-residence program, where they had this brand new building and places for faculty to live with the students to interact with students more.<\/p>\n

That appealed to me. I\u2019ve always been part of clubs or organizations outside the curriculum, because I enjoy trying to encourage interaction between faculty and students. I found those very helpful to get to know people and to feel like I belong to part of the community. I\u2019ve always done that throughout my entire career. I\u2019m in Pagliaro Selz Hall.<\/p>\n

What kind of events are you doing this semester?<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I work with Justine Chasmar; this is her their second year as faculty in residence. Together we organized a whole series of events, including a Munch and Meet. Every Monday, we have a simple lunch, we invite a faculty member, and we invite any students to come for a relaxed, casual sit and chat.<\/p>\n

We also have monthly social events. We\u2019ve had an ice cream social. Twenty students showed up, so that was nice. I have a blind taste test event. \u201cCan you tell which is Bush\u2019s beans and which is the Giant\u2019s beans?\u201d Fun things like that. We had pumpkin carving near Halloween.<\/p>\n

What does your family think of living on campus?<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I have two kids; six and two. My six year old loves it because college students give her the time of day and she loves talking. When we walk around campus, she\u2019ll say, \u201cHi, hi, hi.\u201d If anybody says hi back, she\u2019ll immediately stop to talk.<\/p>\n

What do you like about teaching at a small liberal arts college?<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I get to know the students much more than you would in a larger institution. I know their names in the first week, I know when one is missing from class\u2014just more personal interaction. They ask a lot of questions, which I like. They seem willing to take risks; they\u2019re willing to take extra help. Before the first exam on a Monday, I said, \u201cI\u2019ll be outside my apartment for two hours on Sunday. Stop by if you have any questions.\u201d Eight of my 13 students showed up. It\u2019s good, it means they\u2019re actually interested.<\/p>\n

Another aspect that interested me about Goucher was the high percentage of underrepresented students, both in their cultural backgrounds and LGBTQIA+. Working with people from those communities interests because I\u2019m one of them. My parents came from Peru and I could see how my background made it harder for me to prepare for college and do well in college. I saw how programs I went through helped, and I want to do that here.<\/p>\n

In the short term, I want to set up an information seminar of tidbits you don\u2019t get from class that can help you in your career path. Like, how do you get the most out of a conference? If you\u2019re at dinner with a faculty member from a college you\u2019re interested in, how do you explain your research goals in two minutes? How do you translate what you did in a lab to a resume when you\u2019re looking for jobs in industry? It\u2019s knowing how to translate the language for one to the other, and that\u2019s not easy and there\u2019s no easy guide online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
