Andreina Aguado Jimenez was selected as the interim chair of the chemistry, physics and earth sciences department at North Campus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She began her role on Sept. 11.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jimenez\u2019s duties include overseeing each department, ensuring courses run smoothly, addressing faculty and student concerns and coordinating faculty course schedules.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cInstead of just helping my students that I have direct contact with, I feel like I expanded my pool, and now I get to help other faculty help their students,\u201d Jimenez said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 39-year-old began working at Miami Dade College in 2012 as an adjunct professor in the chemistry department. She was promoted to full-time faculty in 2013, serving as an assistant professor for five years, an associate professor for three years and as an associate professor senior for two years.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jimenez graduated with an associate\u2019s degree from MDC in 2005. Though originally on a pre-dental track, she switched gears to chemistry at Barry University after participating in a research project that experimented with synthesized organic molecules to potentially cure Alzheimer’s disease.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jimenez graduated with a bachelor\u2019s of science degree in chemistry from Barry University in 2007 and with a PhD in chemistry from the University of Miami five years later.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
