"I am used to pouring so much into my work and not putting anything back into myself in terms of learning, this was so important for me to learn from all of the faculty. This was a big stage to develop and gain confidence. Now I feel like I have a voice on these topics. I am [also] very proud and thankful that (the program) has helped me to collaborate with an academic partner to measure the impact of our programs at Garden of Dreams."
