I'd like to thank not only my colleagues but also the staff within ICE for helping me along the way!"

The mentorship and support I received from my colleagues were instrumental in my success, and I am very grateful for their guidance. I am proud of my achievements so far and I am excited to continue my journey with ICE as I work towards becoming Chartered in the future."
