After high school came to California to visit and ended up staying. After graduating from Orange Coast College, had the opportunity to live in Paris, France. Back in California finished a BA in Economics and back to Europe, this time to study in Denmark. The Golden State pulled me back, this time I finished an MA in Economics with the idea of changing the world. Somehow that avenue was closed and I was offered a teaching job and I have been teaching economics for many years!!! I also have worked as an expert witness in economics for ten years.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pages.palomar.edu\/jesteban\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2016\/08\/bolivia.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-116\" src=\"https:\/\/pages.palomar.edu\/jesteban\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2016\/08\/bolivia-300x254.gif\" alt=\"bolivia\" width=\"300\" height=\"254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pages.palomar.edu\/jesteban\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2016\/08\/bolivia-300x254.gif 300w, https:\/\/pages.palomar.edu\/jesteban\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2016\/08\/bolivia-354x300.gif 354w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Interests and Activities<\/h2>\n<p>Currently I&#8217;m a full time teacher at Palomar College, my main goal is to design classes that are interesting, current and fun!!
