TIPS mentee



Why did you get involved with the TIPS network?


With the end of my academic year at LSE approaching, I am delighted to join the 2024 TIPS Mentorship Programme, as it is providing me with the opportunity to engage with professionals dedicated to compliance and anti-corruption in the UK.


The Mentorship Programme is very helpful as my mentor is guiding me through my job search reflection while helping me developing my knowledge of Compliance, Anti-corruption, AML and investigations. In 2022, I joined the legal department of the High Authority for Transparency in Public Life (French acronym: HATVP) contributing to the sharing of best practices in probity and integrity among public officials.


Please describe your experience as part of the TIPS network.

 

The events I have attended so far have enabled me to expand my knowledge with experts in their field. As a young professional, I enjoy meeting professionals who are passionate about their work - it's inspiring and motivating! I am now looking forward to putting my knowledge and experience to good use.
