💌𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀-𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝘀 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲💌 from Flora Chan (BASc, Year 2), and Mrs Tasha Lalvani!

💬 Flora: “I used to think mentorship was simply occasional coffee meetings, but with Tasha, our time together has felt more genuine and natural than just networking or scheduled check-ins. Tasha is thoughtful in maintaining our connection, and we share a variety of activities beyond casual conversation. Even with my broad academic background, she consistently offers thoughtful guidance and clear direction for my career path. She encourages me to stay passionate about what I truly want to pursue, rather than simply following trends.”

💌𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀-𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝘀 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲💌 from Nathan Cheng (BPsych), and Ms Nicole Lau in Northern California!

💬 Nathan: “Before coming to the US, I rarely engaged in networking — it felt intimidating and transactional. Nicole changed that. She gave me my first taste of how warm and open the US professional culture can be, and her constant push to "make the most of it" turned networking from a chore into a habit of curiosity...That shift has made me think much more critically — and much more concretely — about which career paths actually fit me, rather than chasing whichever one sounds most prestigious.”
