1. What brought you to the Women's Center?

I wanted an opportunity to give back to my own community, and the Women's Center's program always provides those services with care and intention.

2. How has being a mentor impacted you?

It has changed all kinds of things about me! It changed what I want to study, what kind of job I want in the future, but mostly how I view my own roles and responsibilities in a community.

3. Who is a woman that inspires you?

I have three older sisters, and they have been my role models for all of my life. They have each dedicated their lives to serving others, and always encourage me to do the same.

4. What is something you and your little have bonded over?

My Little and I bonded over the same sense of humor. Even though we had incredibly different backgrounds, we could always find a way to make the other laugh.

5. What is one thing you do after a stressful day?

I call a friend or family member with no connection to my stressful day and then watch trash TV. Very therapeutic.
