“I have been with the ITP since 2013. Our relationship has blossomed over the years and they have been nothing short of amazing. Extremely supportive, they have helped me through transitions in my career by providing mentorship. I continue to work closely with the ITP and now sit on the editorial board for their quarterly magazine.”
