Mentoring Objectives & Scope

Help students get a clear focus on what they want to do post graduation and learn something about the financial services industry along the way.

- Student transition from college to first professional role
- Building technical or subject matter expertise (hard skills)
- Improved communication and interpersonal skills
- Development of leadership skills, confidence, and executive presence
- Expanding a network, building connection, navigating an organization
- Career Pivot - transition to new role, career, and industry

When and where do you hold meetings with your students?

Hybrid (mix of in-person and virtual). My office is preferred.

I love helping young people take full control of their financial lives.
