Mentoring Objectives & Scope

My goal is to foster curiosity, personal and professional growth, and community service. I would like to work with someone who will show up with focus and objectives for our time together. 

 

When and where do you hold meetings with your students?

100% Virtual. Evenings and weekends are the best times for me to meet. My schedule is prone to last minute changes, so it would be easiest for our scheduling to work with a mentee who has a more flexible schedule.
