March 2012
Dear Linda and Sarah,
I am leaving tomorrow for Morocco. My graduation was Friday and I will start working in London on May 1st for Morgan Stanley as a Strategist within their Fixed Income Division.
I am deeply grateful to FWASF for the opportunity that the association provided me throughout the year. I have met inspiring and impressive women from whom I have learned a lot. My mentor Lela has been extremely supportive and has provided me with incredible advice from both a professional and personal standpoint. I feel that my involvement with FWASF this year has really advanced me as a professional woman. Truly, the scholarship was an incredible experience and I want to thank everyone in the association for your support.
I certainly look forward to staying in touch and I hope to become an active member when I return to the U.S in two years.
Cheers,
