To my dear colleagues, 

It is indeed true that there is no never-ending feast! Shortly, I’ll start a new life of study in another country and I want to firstly thank Logan for having the chance to know all of you. I also want to say how much I appreciate you, my colleagues, for supporting me at work over the past 4 years. It has been a real pleasure working with you all throughout my time here. 

If you ask me do I have any regrets? Perhaps, I think it is the number of ugly pictures that were taken of me here!!

Here is my personal email address should you want to keep in touch.

Wishing you all a healthy and happy 2021! Maybe see you again some day! 

All the best,
Cindy
