Over time, I have found that my greatest passion in life is helping others recognize their true purpose. To me, purpose is not necessarily about getting into a certain school, making a certain amount of money or building a certain number of relationships. It is about understanding who you truly are, what matters to you and what you want your life to look like beyond the expectations of others.

I am drawn to this work because of my experience being a “client,” my experience of being in the shoes of someone who is looking for more but feels lost in their search. My main goal with mentees is to ensure that they have someone that they trust enough to be honest with. I approach my work collaboratively by treating my mentees as equals rather than being someone they can place on a pedestal. We all have hardships, we all have successes and we all have to move through life with those summits and valleys.

I love this line of work because it gives me the opportunity to provide the care that I so desired as a young adult. It is always an honor to be able to walk alongside another human being as they discover themselves!
