My experience so far has been challenging at times, but has been very rewarding in many aspects. The things I have learned and the people I work with really motivate me to come into work every day and do my absolute best.
It's been a great journey from the start, I received all the support when I was hired and I have acquired many technical skills and also I've developed soft skills.
