What excites you about being a mentor?
I find great motivation in the desire to contribute professionally to others. I remember the guidance and support I received in my own career, and I want to offer the same assistance to others who are just starting out or looking to advance. Mentorship allows me to foster strong, meaningful connections. I value the lasting relationships I form with my mentees, which enrich me both professionally and personally. I see the mentoring process as a two-way street. While I guide my mentees, I also learn new perspectives, ideas, and skills from them, keeping me engaged and continuously growing.
