Alumni Reflections

How did the Bonderman impact your life?

“It taught me how to connect meaningfully and deeply with people, even in passing. It made me a fearless and practical traveler. It led me to appreciate how important it is to see yourself in your education, and how critical respect for culture and history are for appreciation of everything current. And it taught me how much we can find connection in people anywhere, even without a language in common, if we only try to look for it.”

What are you doing now? What is inspiring you?

“I am pursuing my passion through my profession. I am working to help families that have experienced some of the heartbreak of rare disease that affected my family, by using my profession in academic research (Biology) to innovate and shine light on overlooked and under attended problems. People inspire me, and my will to make life better for as many people as possible, in my way. I want future Bonderman fellows to know that I am committed to lifting up others, and this is the best legacy you can have. And I learned so much about it (how and why it’s so important) on my Bonderman travels.”
