What Drew Me to UWGT?
I was introduced to UWGT through a company called BASE, and I am so thankful! I can honestly say that I feel so connected to the people, community, and work even being almost 3,000 miles away. That speaks volumes to the culture and values of the organization. I am proud to work among this amazing community full of inspiring folks every day.
