“This experience exposed me to various industries and highlighted the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration. I gained a deeper understanding of how different perspectives must come together to achieve meaningful goals. Hearing from diverse speakers reinforced that there is no single career path; instead, I have the power to shape my own future through passion and hard work. This realization inspired me to pursue a PhD, broadening my horizons and deepening my knowledge across disciplines."
