These are the benefits that we have. They actually got us certified. It’s very expensive to get that certification. I just completed it and we we’re reimbursed, so that really helped me.

What I found is every individual that I had the opportunity to work with was so willing to provide feedback and coaching and mentorship, and it’s the sort of advice that they have for their own careers. And as somebody who’s just starting out their career, I found that to be such an invaluable experience.
