“It was during my time at Bridges that I truly came to understand what meaningful collaboration looks like. At Bridges, we did not simply divide tasks. We co-created. We exchanged ideas, refined each other’s thoughts, and developed outputs together in real time. That depth of teamwork and shared ownership was entirely new to me.”
