I’ve recently been promoted to Media Planning Manager!! I just wanted to share the good news with you all and say thank you 😊 The Foundation helped me get my foot in the door a few years ago, which made everything I’ve achieved since then possible. I’m really grateful for the support you provide, so thank you again!
