Alumni Reflections
How did the Bonderman impact your life?
“I’ve been working as a photojournalist for nearly 20 years, which is a completely different track than I was on before going on my Bonderman fellowship. It instilled a life-long passion for travel and meeting people around the world and somehow managed to make that into a career. I’m still in contact with a few of the people I met on my trip continue to travel in the spirit of the Bonderman fellowship whenever I can.”
What are you doing now?
“I had a photo exhibition in Bulgaria earlier this year and will hopefully be doing an art residency in Estonia next year. Now I’ve got a 5-year-old, but that only opens up new opportunities to explore; we took her to India when she was 8 months old and continue to travel with her. “
