I have learnt so much in just a few months - right from time management to advanced courses like Decision Science & Power BI. And so much about finance - especially being an Arts graduate.

Networking with my peers from diverse backgrounds has been the best part - I have met at least one new person every day and learnt a thing or two for sure.
