What makes you a good mentor?
I believe mentoring is crucial to the transition from student to professional. In a field as vast as communications, I found it was key to navigating the job market and determining a career path. My goal is to provide this opportunity for others following in a similar path as I did while giving back to the community that has given me so much.
