Brigitte Worstell

While at the UW, Brigitte developed a strong interest in the intersection of community and the environment. She first learned about the Bonderman Fellowship her sophomore year, and is extremely excited to have been selected as a recipient.

While traveling, she plans to explore how people define fulfillment and success in cultures that emphasize collective well-being and interdependence over individual distinction. She is eager to explore the world and challenge her assumptions about success and achievement and grow to be more independent and reflective throughout her journey. Brigitte’s travel will include Thailand, Japan, Indonesia, South Korea, Poland, and Turkey.
