Meet Our Alumni
Avik Banerjee '12
Since graduating from Mark Day, Avik has built a life centered around creativity, collaboration, and continuous learning - values that took root during his time here. He attended Sonoma Academy and then UC Irvine, where he studied Computer Engineering. "I was always intrigued by both solving problems and creating enjoyable experiences," he says. "Through coding and electrical design, I was able to make ideas in my head come to life." Outside of his work as a Senior/Lead Software Developer at Bank of Montreal, Avik enjoys music, dance choreography, and recreational sports. "Whenever I think about Mark Day, I remember the extremely caring teachers and staff," he adds. "These teachers helped shape the foundation of who I am and created lifetime memories that I still cherish to this day."
Rebecca Strull '13
When Rebecca reflects on her time at Mark Day, she specifically remembers how the many public speaking and leadership opportunities helped her come out of her shell. Through participation in activities like the Green Team, yearbook team, and theater productions, she grew more comfortable expressing herself in front of large audiences. This foundation followed her to Marin Academy and then to Middlebury College, where she was able to share opinions, ask questions, and engage in discussions naturally. She also attributes Mark Day School with her curiosity about the wider world. After experiencing the school's global partnerships, she traveled throughout high school and college to places like Bolivia, Peru, Cuba, Guatemala, and Rwanda, and studied abroad in Uganda. Following college, Rebecca researched how the COVID-19 pandemic affected minorities, consulted on international development projects, and worked to make childcare and early education more accessible and equitable across California. She says, "Mark Day School helped instill in me that I don't have to be just one thing, and that in fact being many things is something to celebrate."
Jack Conte '98
From his earliest school days at Mark Day to founding Patreon - a revolutionary online platform for more than 250,000 musicians, writers, and other artists - Jack's path has been shaped by creativity and a dedication to music and the arts. "At Mark Day, music and drama were my favorites," he recalls. After the drama teacher told Jack's parents he was quite talented, a number of opportunities opened up, including landing an agent and doing commercial work and voiceover gigs. Jack's creative pursuits continued through high school at Branson and into his university years at Stanford, experiences that would later inform his perspective on the relationship between creators and technology. Even while running Patreon, a company that now employs more than 450 people globally, Conte maintains his creative pursuits, including making music with Pomplamoose. Looking back at his time at Mark Day, he says, "I think about how I developed a love of curiosity and skepticism and asking questions. I learned how to learn at Mark Day, which was so valuable."
