Puig's Philosophy is...Every concept is teachable and learnable. Students shouldn't feel discouraged if they start a course with limited background knowledge; academic success relies on consistent effort and actively utilizing support systems outside class time, including office hours and peer tutoring.
Outside the Classroom…
One reading recommendation for Economics students from Dr. Puig is "Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed by Men by Caroline Criado Perez”
One hobby that Dr. Puig enjoys in her free time is making Ceramics.
