“I was able to gain more insight on the view of beauty in the business industry and how it plays a significant role in your pay, job position and other aspects. It has inspired me to explore new ideas and strategies for enhancing and advancing our own program to empower women to succeed in their academic and professional pursuits,” explained Huynh.
