I think it’s one of the most rewarding aspects of my life and my professional career so far, because it allowed me to develop like a good network and allowed me to practice my skills too — public speaking, media interviews because we did that as well. And even though I did have experience in the past, it’s always good to keep up and practice those. So not only was it rewarding personally, but it was also rewarding — not politically, but it was rewarding professionally. So I got to develop my skills, I got to meet new people and expand my network, and just generally get a better sense of who I am and what I like to do.
