Please share something about yourself, your work, and what draws you to the ALIA community.
I am a Master's Student at The Earth Institute, Columbia University, studying Sustainability Management. I am interested in the application of mindfulness-based management to education and public health programs, especially in resource-poor communities.

I recently spent three months working in Ghana with the Millennium
