As a first-gen college student, I have often found myself walking into unfamiliar territory, but each time, I emerge stronger and more determined. 

Focus on the lessons learned, and don't let fear hold you back; use it to drive your path forward. #FirstGen

Mentoring is sharing.

Sharing knowledge, resources, network, and space for our mentees to take control of their careers and shine their unique lights.

During the PB2PHD Research Symposium, Dr. Lisandro Maya Ramos, MD. Ph.D emphasized in his keynote address that there is no one path to accomplishing your goals; the key lies in being true to yourself, persevering through the trials, and recognizing and celebrating every milestone along the way.

Mentoring is not about controlling our mentees' next steps. It's about providing them with a safe space for self-reflection and innovation to bring new ideas to life.

Dream team!
