Alum Connection with Vinal Desai Burbeck: Study What You Love & Find Purposeful Work
As an undergrad in LSA, Vinal pursued English and in Women and Gender Studies but often found herself wondering: what will I do with this degree? Upon graduating in 2009, Vinal found herself amidst an economic recession and felt her future was uncertain. However, she used that time to discover what mattered to her the most and what she needed from a career. In 2015, she found a way to combine her passion, talent, and joy by launching her own travel business.
Join Vinal for a lunch n’ learn where you get to ask the questions you want about and hear insights on what she wished she’d known as a student. You’ll also learn about careers in travel & tourism — a field that is not always discussed!
