"Shadowing the Crisis and Security Consulting Team (CSC) has been fascinating. During a security brief with a client, I was right there in the room, which gave me firsthand insight into how to work with clients and meet their needs. Interacting with colleagues from different backgrounds and in other parts of the world has also been a highlight, giving me a broader perspective on the kind of work they do.”
