Quote: “I still remember my first PEFA event and what a fun and welcoming environment it was. I was still trying to find my footing in Los Angeles at the time and it was so refreshing to find this group of smart and engaging women. It is so important to have a professional and personal network, especially when balancing career and life goals. PEFA is a great resource for both. ”
