Before becoming a speaker at the international event which was attended by researchers, Master’s and Doctoral students, Fathia prepared many things.

He also practiced a lot and often had discussions with his supervisor, Prof. Dr. Taufiq Hidajat, DEA

Fathia advised friends who want to try new things to still have the courage to try, prepare themselves well, and don’t forget to ask for help from other people.
“Just be brave, try it if you have the opportunity, if you are afraid, first practice, try, the important thing No be shy. “Be brave, practice, and ask people for help,” he said.
