Mentorship, Education & Group Facilitation

Growing through novel experiences and meaningful connections has naturally drawn me to mentorship roles where people are learning and evolving together. Having the opportunity to witness and encourage others to explore new perspectives, reflect on their experiences, and grow both personally and collectively truly lights me up.

The "older sister" in me is naturally drawn to roles where I can offer guidance, listen to others’ experiences, and support them as they navigate new experiences.

Across these roles, I honed my skillset for youth mentorship, group facilitation, and creating supportive learning environments.
