“As a first-gen student, I often felt lost when it came to navigating my education and career. I learned early on that while persistence and research can get you far, having a mentor to guide you through uncertainty is invaluable. I actively sought out those mentors, and their support and encouragement helped me get to where I am today. Now, I want to offer that same support to someone else and to help them grow in their field and reach their goals.”

Being a mentor has allowed me to pour the knowledge that I have from my experiences into others looking to develop similarly.”
