Hello All! I am looking forward to working with you this semester. You may call me Al (that’s spelled ay-el, not ay-eye). My pronouns are they/them. I have been teaching at BMCC since Spring 2019 and before that, I’ve taught at NYU and The New School since 2015. I’m really grateful to be working here with the committed faculty and students I have met. I believe that anyone can learn economics because everybody engages with their local economy as part of daily living!
Please respond in a comment below to introduce yourself. To do so click “Leave a Comment” up top. Please note, everything posted to this website is viewable to the entire BMCC OpenLab community and potentially searchable by the public. If you prefer, you’re welcome to email me instead but please do respond. Please include responses to any or all of the following:
- Your Name (as registered)
- Your Nickname (how you want to be addressed in class)
- Pronoun (how you want to be addressed in addition to your name, usually “he,” “she,” “they,” or “name only (no pronoun)” but there are many other options)
- Why you are taking this class
- Something that helps you learn
- Something you enjoy
For instance: My name is Alexandria Eisenbarth, I go by Al. You can also call me “professor” or “Mx. Eisenbarth” if you want, but I do NOT like to be called “Mr.” or “Mrs.” or “Ms.” or “miss.” My pronouns are they/them. I teach this class because a money-paying job is required to access the necessaries of living in our economy in the absence of personal wealth and because I really love helping people access this language of power in ways that are relevant to their own life. I learn best through experiences and prefer a visual/auditory combo if learning-by-doing isn’t available. It is difficult for me to learn when my experiences and memories are not given credibility. I like to crochet, play music, garden, bike, and embark upon personal spiritual growth.
My registered name is Mei Lacsina. I want to be addressed as Mei. Pronounce is she. I’m taking this class since it is one of the choices that I was given. Something that helps me learn is writing everything down. I enjoy eating, watching, reading and watching videos of animals.

hey my name is Nancy Jovel , prefer to be called Nancy. I am taking this class because it’s the one that I found interested from the options that I had. I learn best when I am listening and visualizing the material because I take it in my way and understand it in my own way. If at times I am lost or confused, I will ask questions or try to be hands on so I can get a better understanding or be “corrected” if this is the “right” way or the right understanding. I enjoy playing volleyball, spending time with family and friends exploring new places to eat and new places to visit in New York and learning new and unlearning ways of myself.
Hi, my name is Alisha Bizira. I want to be addressed as Alisha in class. My pronouns are she/her. I am taking this class because it was a requirement. I am a visual learner and writing everything down helps me learn better as well. I enjoy listening to music, reading, watching TV and baking.
Hi my name is Camila Alonso. I want to be addressed as Camila in class. My pronouns are she/her. I am taking this class because I am required to do so. I learn best visually and writing everything down. I enjoy watching movies, reading, and listening to music and going out on adventures.
Hi, my name is lingjiao Gong, I would like be addressed as Lingjiao in class. My pronouns are she, I am taking this class because I need credit for this class. At the same time, I think I will enjoy this course. I think one of the things that helps me learn better is to take notes, to write down important information. I enjoy reading some books since reading helps me to do things seriously and quietly.
Hello everyone
My name is Astri Jimenez and I just prefer to be called Astri and I want to be addressed as she. I am taking this class because it is a requirement for my major. And something that helps me learn is having a review about what I am learning. Something I enjoy is having time for myself to relax and not overthink because it just sucks your mood.
Hi, my name is Marleen Fernandez, go as just Marleen. my pronouns are she. I am taking this class because this is one of the last classes that I need this semester to graduate. At the same time Im pretty sure I would like and enjoy this class. TBH what helps me learn is asking questions. I consider myself as a visual learner. what I enjoy most is just being home and sleeping bt I also like to dance hear music and party.
Hey, my name is Emmalee Rosado. I would like to be addressed as Emmalee in class. My pronouns are she/her. I’m taking this class because it’s apart of my requirements. Something that helps me learn are notes and visuals. I need something physically to look at to understand it at times. I enjoy dancing and traveling with my friends whether it be a new place to eat, activities or even just because. I can’t stay cooped up in the house for too long doing nothing.
Hello my name is Mamuna and I’m taking this class to extend my knowledge on economics and how it affects us. Something that helps me learn is doing independent work because it helps me better understand the material when I’m doing it at my own pace.
Hello, my name is Osha. My pronouns are she/her. I am taking this class because I need it to graduate and my advisor told me to but I do actually enjoy this class so far. I enjoy learning independently, I have always felt that I could teach myself better than anyone else could so being in group settings and learning in a classroom at the speed of everyone else can be difficult to me. I like watching basketball and playing video games.
