I am someone who regularly seeks out input from my colleagues and mentors: I need to hear a range of opinions before I’ll make important work-related decisions. I’m a firm believer in the value of mentorship at all stages of our careers. Mentorship can take all sorts of shapes and forms from long-term formal relationships to one-off conversations at the water cooler. I am really excited to get involved in a new kind of mentoring as a Core Advisor for the Faculty Link Program!
