“One of the biggest things I struggled with was transitioning from one country to a new one. And I have gotten guidance and support each step of the way. There's a huge sense of community and collaboration here. I have learned to be more confident in speaking up, working with other team members, learning newer perspectives, and organizing events. I've had a lot of personal growth.”
