Winemaker, Writer, and Entrepreneur, Sonja Magdevski
A journalist by training but a winemaker by passion, Sonja will speak to students about her circuitous career path from LSA to winemarker and owner of her own vineyard, Casa Dumetz. Through her own experience, Sonja will help students navigate the uncertainty of non-linear personal and professional progression.
