VisionnaireX Future Leaders Foundry

Signing up for VisionnaireX was hands down one of the best decisions I made in high school. The data strategy project wasn’t just another assignment- it was real work, solving actual industry problems with my mentor, who, by the way, is an absolute rockstar. She didn’t just guide me; she challenged me to think bigger, go deeper, and now? She’s even invited me to keep in touch and potentially join her team after I graduate! Not only did I get into my dream university, but I feel 100% confident about my future in this space. If you’re on the fence, DO IT. Best way to level up.

Doing a 1:1 product management project with my mentor from Canva was an insane learning experience. I didn’t just study frameworks- I actually applied them to real problems, which completely changed how I think about digital consumer platforms. Now, as I apply to Stanford and MIT, I feel way more confident about my path. Stanford is the dream - I want to build and scale products that shape how people interact with tech. Huge thanks to VisionnaireX for giving me this head start!

I am deeply thankful for the guidance and support from my mentor during my dementia care innovation project. Over the 12 weeks, I learned so much—from designing a survey to researching patients' & caretakers’ needs and creating user personas. Her expertise in technology and healthcare was crucial, encouraging me to think creatively and empathetically. She offered valuable feedback and motivation while inspiring me with their passion for making a positive impact. This experience has inspired me on using technology for social good.
