January 2026 EconHero

Congratulations to Luisella Orozco our January 2026 EconHero!

Luisella teaches IB Economics (SL and HL) at The American School Foundation in Mexico City. Several of Luisella's students nominated her for this recognition writing, "She makes economics engaging!" and "She helps you understand a topic in many ways and prioritizes fun learning." 

When we reached out to Luisella, she responded with the kind of enthusiasm typical of an EconHero, telling us "I love teaching economics because its impact is easily contagious. What is often called the 'dismal science' quickly becomes a powerful lens through which students see the world differently. Economics changes the way they make decisions, question incentives, and evaluate policies that affect their lives and society."

Are you or a colleague empowering the next generation of economic thinkers? Nominate an EconHero today!
