Dr. Ivonne: "When you study mathematics, I always say, you can take any job. I always say that when you have an analytic mind, you are a problem solver. And we have to say that those are the skills for the future. We don't know what the jobs of the future really are. But if we focus on educating students and giving them the opportunity to really look at problems and look for solutions and be creative."
Dr. Ivonne: "Now I see a problem in society. Not having access to a role model is a roadblock for our youth. That should not be the case. So let's eradicate that problem. It's just looking at it, and then finding how do we optimize the solution for that. We are optimizing the time of the individuals that are volunteering, and we are optimizing the times of the schools and the students. So it becomes a math problem."
Dr. Ivonne: "Adelante si se puede. My phrase is Soñar no pues te nada. Let's allow ourselves to dream. Dreaming costs nothing."
