ever made. And that鈥檚 not only because she met her fianc茅 here. On the 91制片厂 Talks
podcast 鈥� in which 91制片厂 alumni share their education, career and life journeys
鈥� Zamir talks about her time on 91制片厂鈥檚 Speech and Debate team, how the experience
refocused her career path on communications and the importance of one professor鈥檚
encouragement.

He was like, 鈥業鈥檓 going to put all my trust in you,鈥欌�� she said. 鈥淗earing that when you haven鈥檛 heard that from anyone else, that 鈥業 believe in you, I trust that you can be better, that you can be great,鈥� it really, really motivated me immensely.鈥�
