What makes you a good mentor?
Without a doubt, I would not have had the experiences, opportunities, and felt courageous enough to take leaps in my professional life without the support of mentors in my life. Navigating what your professional life could look like is incredibly difficult to do on your own, and having someone there to support you and be that check-in can make a world of difference. It's always nice to know you have someone in your corner.
