“The intangible aspect of a strong mentor match is our ongoing ability to connect with our mentor. We value a mentor who recognizes what experiences would 'speak' to us and one who facilitates our ability to critically appraise learning opportunities we may have initially missed. Because of our relationship, we can trust our mentor to recommend training and scholarship opportunities that we know will prove beneficial in the future."
Having a powerful and supportive bridge like my mentor has enabled me to become a confident person, she has guided me always and has enabled me to grow personally and professionally,” says Farahnaz Hassanshahi, Latinas Learning to Lead (LLL) graduate who is a nursing student at The Catholic University of America, DC.
“The greatest bridge at the National Institute of Health (NIH) has been the help and support of my mentor who has become more than a preceptor and trusted advisor, and someone whom I admire…It is people like my mentor and those who work closely with her who have made themselves available to help along our career paths. Without our passionate guides always having us in mind, we could have never made the advances that we have made thus far in our very young careers,” believes Leticia Dominguez, 2008 LLL graduate.
Both Leticia and Farahnaz are Dr. Rivera-Goba’s mentees.
