Antonia Altagracia (Grace) Villaman Tavarez

I studied Chemistry and graduated at Universidad Nacional Pedro Henriquez Ureña (UNPHU) in 1972. Since then, I have been a Chemistry teacher, first at UNPHU and then, 1984-1988, at Universidad Iberoamericana (UNIBE). I took a break until 1992, and started back to teach chemistry in English at the Starting Medicine School English Program at UNIBE. I was also the coordinator of the Pre-Medical Program of UNIBE since 1996 until recently September 2010. I keep mysel active as a member of a local Seventh Day Adventist Church, preparing the people for the 2nd Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I attended Abington Heights High School for a single year, in 1967-1968, I was a senior, as a foreign exchange student from the American Field Service Program. I had an awesome unforgettable experience with both my American families and school. A lot of what I am, my personality and beliefs is because of that wonderful year, including the ability to speak and write English.
