"Having the opportunity to research and study around the world has enabled me to not only meet many people and make connections, but also to learn my strengths and discover where I can make the greatest impact. I have realized that I cannot be an expert in everything, which has taught me to leverage the knowledge of my colleagues in other areas, whose expertise has helped me achieve my goals."
