Alumni Reflections

What is a favorite memory from your Bonderman?

“While visiting Pula, Croatia in January (the off season, so I was completely alone, the only visitor in town) I stayed at the home of a Professor and his family who allowed me to visit his campus and told me about the education system, his own experience as a Professor and shared his family’s own history and impact of the war. It was an incredible and insightful moment and the entire reason I had decided to travel.”

What are you doing now?

“I am working on The Sims 4, and although my life direction changed greatly from where I thought I would be, my entire life and career have been shaped by my experience. I think about how I want every person across the globe to experience games, play, and entertainment. And personally, I’ve never stopped traveling. My world was so small before I went on my trip, the fellowship opened up opportunities I didn’t even realize were possible or obtainable.”
