What makes you a good mentor?
I became involved with the Carleton Alumni Mentorship program during the inaugural year of the program as a mentee. My mentors helped me navigate life after university and as a young professional in the workforce. I've experienced firsthand as a mentee how powerful and helpful this program can be, and I'm excited to give back as a mentor. I am looking forward to helping students or recent graduates navigate their next steps in life.
