“It’s programs like the William F. White and WIFT-T mentorship program that help to lift women up in this industry, and I could not be more excited and grateful for this opportunity. I look forward to learning from the amazing people at William F. White and connecting with incredible women through WIFT-T. With such strong support, I know that I will leave this program a better, more knowledgeable creator.”
