Being a mentor
Being a mentor is a deeply rewarding experience, as it gave me the opportunity to give back to the academic community that helped shape my journey and to support someone who is at the beginning of their professional path. Mentoring also allows me to reflect on my own experiences, share insights, and grow alongside my mentee. I joined the program because I believe in the power of empowering and connecting others. Having someone to talk to, especially when you're making big decisions about your career, can make a huge difference. I wanted to be that person for someone else, just as I had people who supported me along the way.
