“I always approach mentoring UConn undergraduate students from a position of wanting to share the knowledge I wish I had when I was in their shoes. I want to help them develop into young professionals capable of attaining their dreams. To be a UConn Mentor means playing an active role in continuously improving the education for UConn students. It means helping to connect the educational experience with the professional experience and bridging the gap between the two.”
