On Mentoring to Make a Difference:
“I didn't want to just be a mentor who was giving a student tasks to handle. I wanted to be someone that they could rely on holistically—someone they could rely on for research, internships, scholarships, and course selection. I wanted to prepare myself to serve them as best as I could."
