Guided by mentors. Empowered by feedback.

“Senior leaders have played a big role in my growth. Throughout my project, I had many opportunities to interact with them, and every time I had the chance to present, it pushed me to be concise and straight to the point. Their feedback was always insightful, and it helped me see things from a much broader perspective.”
