Alumni Reflections
How did the Bonderman impact your life?
“The Bonderman experience was the adventure of a lifetime. It opened my eyes to other ways of living, taught me patience and resourcefulness, grew my senses of empathy and intuition, and reinforced my belief in the fundamental goodness of humanity.”
What are you doing now?
“I am a designer working in book publishing and the arts. My experiences have helped inform how I approach projects, from academic to artistic. I seek ways to build communities and connections around these creative interests. Travel is inspiring and I strive to push myself when any new opportunity arises. My most fulfilling experiences have always — always — been those that were most challenging to initiate.”
