This is our 100th newsletter, all of which were filled with memories and unforgettable events with stories.Let me share with you my journey with Cravia.I still remember the time when I was questioning my decisions and wondering what to do next with my career.It wasn’t easy being away from my family, yet here I am today, celebrating my eighth year at Cravia.Cravia taught me the values of being independent, responsible, a team player, and being committed. I also learned to develop my skills alongside a passionate group of individuals who are dedicated to their careers and are goal achievers. In my years here, I’m still amazed how this company continues to grow and inspire a lot of people, not only at work but also with their personal lives. It is truly an honor to be working here. Cravia will always be a part of my life, where I am molded to be a better version of myself.I am proudly a Cravian because Cravia is simply the best.“Do it well, no matter how big or small your role is, and just enjoy the ride”
