Anne, Agrata, and Kavya were an incredible addition to the WPH staff and worked diligently, collaboratively, and efficiently to contribute to the great work we do in Hamilton.
We send them all the best vibes as they prepare for a new academic school year in the fall and pursue their academic achievements.
It was a pleasure to work along side all three of them and we know that when they enter the workforce, their employers will be so lucky to have each of them!
Thanks for a great 8 weeks! |
