“What I learned during the Research Challenge continues to help me in my professional life. It gave me the opportunity to work on my technical skills (financial modelling, report writing, research) in real life, and made me confident to present in front of a large audience and network with industry professionals across the world. Participating was worth it, and I still reap the benefits in my professional life today.”
