Mentoring Objectives & Scope

As a mentor, I enjoy helping my mentees reach their full potential. I respect confidentiality and offer a safe environment to share. If you're looking for endorsement or sponsorship, I am NOT the right mentor for you. My mentees feel no pressure to impress me, I'd like to get to know you, reflect on experiences, bounce ideas, then hopefully celebrate your successes and be a gentle reminder that we grow from our failures too. I don't have all the answers and I hope to learn from you as much as you'll learn from me.

When and where do you hold meetings with your students?

100% virtual - I prefer late afternoons and early evenings (between 3 - 7 pm) during the week. I work from home in Sammamish and prefer virtual meetings. Also happy to meet in-person at Starbucks in/around Issaquah and Bellevue.

Additional Information

I'm happily married to my incredible husband who is also an Albers alum. We both work full time and are busy parents to 2 awesome kiddos. I'm grateful my MBA experience at Albers led me to an amazing career. I'm looking forward to giving back and serving as a mentor in this program.
