The night prior to class, Ivan called me and made me feel welcomed a part of the team. Marty made the dry material entertaining and was a big help in preparing me for pre-trip from the start. AJ, Jim, and Keith all took their time personally guiding and instructing me, never making me feel like a student but a professional in the industry.
I could not have had a better experience and I am so grateful for this opportunity to have been working alongside such an awesome group of people here in Phoenix. My only regret from this whole process is that I can’t stay out this way—I feel like I’m leaving a part of me here as it’s felt like a home away from home. Thank you all so much for an exceptional experience that I cannot wait to share with others!
