Bio
I have an interdisciplinary background in Education, Writing Studies, and TESOL. My research focuses on contemplative education, literacy practices, and intercultural communication. My current project examines how a 鈥渟low looking鈥 pedagogy can help Generation Z students鈥攚ho have grown up in a culture of distraction and multitasking鈥攃ultivate their capacity for learning, enhancing both their academic performance and personal growth.听

Deeply inspired by the contemplative spirit of Boulder, I integrate slow education and mindfulness into my teaching. My approach has been shaped by years of participation in meditation retreats, dedicated practitioners鈥 groups, and training workshops within our community organizations. I enjoy spending time in nature, traveling, and exploring new places with my husband, whose training as a meditation teacher has deeply influenced both my teaching and personal journey.听

I am currently developing my website, slowlooking.org, as a resource for our campus community and the public interested in mindfulness, slow education, and contemplative pedagogy. As a work in progress, the site will continue to expand with new content, offering practical strategies, research insights, and reflective practices to support meaningful education in our fast-paced, digital world.
