I enjoy sharing my skills and experience with students and giving back what I’ve learned throughout my career. XTM International has been immensely supportive, enabling me to grow professionally and personally within the community.”
XTM International sees this collaboration as a way to further accelerate the professional and personal growth of women in the workplace.
