Alumni Reflections
How did the Bonderman impact your life?
“The Bonderman immersed me in a world that was once foreign to me, but gradually became familiar. While the unfamiliar can still feel uncomfortable at times, it is now always accompanied with curiosity, openness, and a desire to know more. The curiosity Bonderman instilled in me has been foundational in my personal and professional life.”
What are you doing now? What is inspiring you?
“I just graduated with my Master of Public Health degree and hope to continue working in global maternal and child health. Travel (both at home and abroad), engaging with community, my family and friends, and learning new things still inspire me.”
