I was drawn to this organization in 2022 because of its exceptional capacity for adaptation and success, which has been demonstrated throughout its eighteen-year history since 2008. I have always appreciated global exposure, having graduated with a Master's degree in the UK in 2012, but this company's moral "student-first" ethos particularly motivated me.
