Recently, she was selected as a participant in a Fulbright-Hays Group Project Abroad project… [in] which she spent five weeks in India studying “Mindfulness Practices in a Materialistic World”. Through practicing what she learned abroad, she quickly observed how her interactions with her students improved creating a more inclusive classroom environment.
