"Having the opportunity to participate in the GCSC was one of the most enriching experiences I have ever had! The GCSC proposes a lot of challenges related to globalization, as you communicate with people from different cultures, timezone and routines. Furthermore, you have contact with different points of view which is the amazing part of the job."
