 As a mentor to me personally, it's a role that allows me to nurture, to share my own experiences and to kind of like give a head start to a mentee who is aspiring to a role. Here at the laboratory, I'm a research scientist. I do research work that involves bacterial culture. So outreach again is a way to give back to the community, to society in general. When you participate in outreach, you are not doing it because you are necessarily getting something out of it, even though I like some of the fact that you are learning from that process. But it's more kind of a volunteering opportunity, a way to serve and to give back and to share the things that you know have encouraged you as a person. I like to go by saying that to hear who much is given, much is expected. Growing up, I know what a role of mentorship has meant to me and so I seek to give back whenever I have the opportunity to do so.
