My experience being part of a wolfpack was a “game changer.” I walked into it not truly understanding what it meant and what its purpose was. I walked out of it a year later forming meaningful relationships with a group of amazing women leaders in the financial services industry, who provided support, advice and real friendship. Looking back at my career in this space to date, I can honestly say that this is truly one of the most unique platforms offered in the industry to help you excel both professionally and personally.”
