Looking back, this past year in Raffles was full of challenges and growth. Returning to an academic setting after a decade of working was truly an eye-opening experience for me, as I rediscovered and relearned many things about myself. I was taught the importance of being resilient when faced with adversity as I went through the process of learning. All in all, I gained indispensable practical knowledge in the business of fashion through my time in Raffles, an understanding that is especially relevant to equipping my future business.
