How would you summarize TAICEP in a single word? Networking
Is there anything else you want to share with the community about yourself? Having lived and studied in Glasgow, it was a perfect feeling to return after ten years and present at the TAICEP annual meeting held there. This year, I am excited to continue that journey by presenting in Croatia. TAICEP has been an incredible space for professional growth and collaboration. My advice to new TAICEP members is to be engaged, reach out and take advantage of the support within this global community.
