Angela studied abroad in South Africa as a UW-Eau Claire undergraduate. In her Fulbright application, she expressed her interest in the Bulgaria program's opportunities to teach at the secondary level, and she noted that she will bring a unique set of teaching skills to the program with an emphasis in creative expression through art. Noting that she feels it will be important to be an integral part of the Bulgarian community, Angela took an online language course in Bulgarian in preparation for her Fulbright year.
When she returns to the U.S., Angela plans to teach visual arts in an inner-city community, with an emphasis on interdisciplinary learning. Longer term, she hopes to pursue a master's degree and become a school counselor, focusing on adolescent learners. "Sharing my experiences in Bulgaria with future students will help me promote an understanding of cultural diversity and the importance of working towards an international community," she wrote.
