(United States)

MultiPOD's Principal Mentor and Program Coordinator, Fernando Zacarías, participated via Zoom in this scientific event and its pre-conference and post-conference workshops. The mission of the Mentoring Institute is the development, coordination and integration of evidence-based, effective practices of mentoring into research, consulting, and training activities through the application of instructional design standards, training and certification. In addition to new knowledge and networking opportunities, it was rewarding to learn that MultiPOD could be described as a unique initiative in international mentoring and as one of the largest and most diverse virtual mentoring programs. At the workshop on program design, implementation and evaluation, MultiPOD obtained a high score of 27/30 points and a recommendation to pay special attention to the matching of mentor-mentee dyads and a closer monitoring of the mentoring sessions.

I have been working in website design and development since 1996, and in visual design since 2008. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering and a specialization in Design and Multimedia. Since 2020, I have been a member of the Squarespace Circle, collaborating with partners specializing in Copywriting, SEO, Programming, and more.

I have supported various organizations worldwide, notably through the United Nations online volunteering program, as well as volunteering for organizations in my own country, developing websites and graphic materials.

I am passionate about simple design approaches, usability, and typography. I believe in the power of design and photography to enhance communication, shift perceptions, and evoke emotions.
