“For me, Dulwich wasn’t just a place to be educated. My time at the College was so valuable for everything it has given me beyond my seven years there and remains a lasting impact on my life. My mother’s dream was to send me to a school which would give me opportunities that were not directly accessible, and for her, that place was Dulwich. The friends I made at the College are lifelong and a very important part of my life. While my academic degree isn’t directly related to my career, the influences my teachers had on me helped to broaden my horizon and the skills I learned at Dulwich had such a positive impact on me. That combined with the fantastic sporting experiences I had whilst at the College have given me the confidence to grow to now work in a leadership position all over the world with people from a variety of backgrounds. I love travelling, working and being in diverse environments, and I always feel like I can find some commonality with every single person I meet. I still feel very strong ties to Dulwich, and I am very grateful that I was able to attend Dulwich thanks to a bursary support. Those on a bursary bring a diversity of culture and of thinking to the College and in doing so I strongly believe they enrich it as a result. The College in turn enriches their lives through education and access to outstanding opportunities and resources. Your education changes your life, particularly if you are fortunate enough to receive a Dulwich education.”
