Interest and Desire to Mentor

I value the mentorship I have received throughout my life and my career and I would like to support others as I have been supported. The work we do within our communities can be challenging and discouraging at times. The relationships that we build with each other, including mentor/mentee relationships, can give us the momentum we need to continue our important work.

Values and Approaches to Mentoring

Self-care is critical for busy, emerging leaders and receiving mentoring is one self-care strategy. I hope to provide a mentoring space in which we can slow down and reflect on who we are as leaders.
