During this journey I progressed from Sales Manager to Senior Sales Manager, and then to Vice President of Sales. I am very grateful to the faculty, who played a crucial role in my development, imparting their passion and knowledge. It is obvious that they truly enjoy their specialties and appreciate the opportunity to pass that enthusiasm on to their students.
