Hi everyone Hi Dr. Z. My name is Hernando Villafane, native from Colombia with an undergraduate degree in industrial engineering from Universidad de Antioquia (funded in 1803) Colombia. Back home I owned my building construction company (subcontractor), tired and stressed I decided to take a sabbatical year, back in 2000, to learn a second language and later re-adapt to school classes have been a challenge: persistence and determination are being part of my last name. I hold a certificate to teach Spanish, and applied for math certification. I worked as a TA (pre-k) until last June 21 (laid off) and also I coached Plainfield High school girl’s varsity Track & Field (Pole Vault coach). This is my first time doing an online class and I look forward to give my best. My email: leovillafane@msn.com or hvillafane@njcu.edu .
