Since joining RSLP how have you grown as a leader?
Through the Robertson Program, I’ve grown as a leader by developing experiences that deepen my understanding of both myself and the communities I hope to serve. During my Exploration Summer, roadtripping in Alaska, I reflected on how my identity shapes the way I move through the world, gaining clarity on how I process, absorb, and express information. It was a transformative chapter that continues to inform how I lead with empathy, curiosity, and intention.
