Mentoring Objectives & Scope

I hope to offer advice, mentorship, and guidance on how to find a career that is fulfilling and that you are passionate about, how to engage in that discernment process, and, if interested, ways for students to use their business knowledge and degrees in the nonprofit and education space with more options for work then exclusively working in the corporate sector.

As a mentor, I can support students in the following: 

- Resume review, interview prep, LinkedIn branding
- Student transition from college to first professional role
- Expanding a network, building connection, navigating an organization
- Helping entrepreneurial students define a business or product and business plan
- Career Pivot - transition to new role, career, and industry
